and to find out what people say about me

I fix trailers for a living.
Boat trailers. Utility trailers. Horse trailers. The stuff people load with things they care about.

 

After I released my first Manual: The Big Hub Energy. Something interesting started happening.

I kept getting

The same question.
Over. And over. And over.

         “Can I put electric brakes on my boat trailer?”

That question told me everything I needed to know:

Different people.
Same confusion.

These weren’t beginners.
These were smart, capable trailer owners.

People who tow regularly.
People who already replaced parts.
People who thought they “basically understood” their braking system.
