[Chuck Saunders]

I have a gooseneck that the previous owner fashioned a surge brage to. The
Neck pivots to apply braking. I would not recommend this .

Could you convert it to surge brakes? Or possibly put electrics on one<br>axle and have surge on the other. Then have a way to lock out the surge<br>brakes. That way you could use it with any tow vehicle even if it<br>doesn't have a controller on it. Just a thought.
