For me, when offroading and doing "stair steps" surge brakes work well....As I am trying to slowly ride the brakes down/over the steps the "trailer brakes" don't fight me as much as "electric brakes"...
I have used a TO-Extreme "High Country" with disc surge brakes with the solenoid valve, they worked great. Electric are not the best when you are trying to do "Stair Steeps" and ride the brakes down the "steeps"....Don't listen to the "WEB" if they hadn't used them, they shouldn't comment!
Has anyone mounted their sand ladders under the rtt? I was thinking, it is a great place that is protected from the sun and not using space inside the trailer.
Justin, Good luck in Cal, if and when you are back in South Central KS, lookup the Konza Overland Group on Facebook. We look to see your Rover first hand.

Nato Style cans are great but be careful, there are Chinese copies that are not the same.
I bought a 4 pack of the Chinese version and they were 1/2 the weight of my old 15yr old Wedco and did not seal 100%.
I would not buy a can without touch/see-it-1st-hand.
The last ones I bought are from...
I have a daily driver with 212,000 miles (never had a head job or even gaskets) and my wife's is 167,000 (with heads done at 120,000).
If you like it drive it...
Yes, Tuttle Creek.
The trailer did not feel "tippy" at all.
I did not have much weight in it(i had not packed up yet)
Trailer weight is 900lbs as tested.
My wife has a 1999 Series1 as her daily driver, she loves it and will never let go of it. Yes they are slow, they do leak, and her cruise is not working either.
