I like to tell people on the trailer weight to use the GVW of the trailer for figuring numbers. That will give you a good number to work with, and the heaviest weight you may encounter. Trailer manufacturers in the brochures like to use a very stripped out trailer to entice people.

Trailer brakes are not for stopping the truck. You are doing this because the trailer is waggin the truck. An appropriate size truck will not have this problem. For the new people to towing, if you see your trailer swaying (waggin), first is of course to slow down. Second is to manually apply...
