Particularly  to miller tyme: All  I  can  have  is  the  brakes  the  wagon  has    WHICH  ARE  VERY  NEW and  the  hydraulic  surge  brakes  on  the  MXL.  Is  that  all  you  have  ever  used  to  stop  also  just  your  vehicles  brakes  and  the  brakes  on  your  MXL?  
       Of  course I  do  recall  i  towed  the  68  scotty  camper I   once  had    with  my little  dodge  van  with  ONLY  the  vans  brakes  the  scotty  had  none  and  I  did  did  fine.  What  about  you  PLEASE?

Yep, as I stated in my previous posts, I've hauled the MXL with my Explorer, my F-150, and a Dodge Caravan. Surge brakes have been used for years on both camping trailers and boat trailers, so they are proven to be safe, if properly maintained. As I said, maybe have someone with knowledge of braking systems take a look at the system, just to be on the safe side to make sure everything's working right.
 
 My first pop-up ('74 Venture) had no brakes, and we hauled it with the Dodge Caravan and the F-150. No problems with either tow vehicle.
