Plowing with my L48

<font color=blue>The axle being un-sprung and the tires hard (100 psi) hammered the wire and shorted it out inside where you couldn't see it</font color=blue>

The axle doesn't even have to be un-sprung, nor the tires that hard./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif In '90, enroute to Alaska, my brother's 5th wheel travel trailer had a similar problem. When he lost braking, we found that water had gotten into the axle tube, and apparently just vibration had rubbed the insulation off the wire in there, and that shorted it out. Relatively easy to fix, but no fun running out of brakes on the road.
