hey fellas, i was wondering if any of you guys have an experience with vacuum over hydraulic brakes on trailers, im lookin to get a single car hauler, like the one pictured here http://wallymo.homestead.com//1carbumperpull.html and it has an option for vacuum over hydraulic brakes, im familiar with how they work n such, what sort of "connections" would i need to make the brakes work n such, what about a brake controler? ive got the basics down but i dont know anyone with this style of brake system on a trailer, electric brakes are fine for a trailer of this size, but i was just curious about vacuum over hydraulic brakes, thanx in advance

All ya got to have is the 2 rubber hoses to connect the 2, and a brake line and a brake line T to splice into the brake lines. I dont care what anybody tells you, i know for a fact that a 24v dodge WILL pull enough vacuum to operate these. weve got 2 trucks with em. And i can pull this:


And stop it with ease. i can lock up all 8 tires on that tralier LOADED. excellent set up. However, there is a new set up, electric over hydrolic. herd it works the same, but cheaper to hook up the truck.
