There is a guy who advertises remote rv repairs on my local Craigslist. You might check your local listings to see if someone does that.

Another reason to go to a repair shop, the brake controller issue concerns me. You need a brake controller.

+1. Brake controllers are a must.

I will.
But I can't believe I don't have brakes. I've towed over 8k miles at this point. Up and down mountains (albeit Eastern ones), small windey roads and bumper to bumper on the NJ turnpike. I am careful about speed but I've never felt trouble stopping. Moreover, when I first got the trailer the emergency brake release had corroded and broke loose, and the brakes engaged. But I don't mess around with safety stuff. :)

Nope, not wrong. That's why I said you have to get the ground right, so the polarity is not reversed. Nothing bad means no arcs and sparks, not that you don't have to go through and be sure everything is connected right. Of course you do. Trial an error is sometimes necessary and can be done safely as long as you get the polarity right to start with, which can be verified with a multimeter.

I have faith in you. Just get it checked, we all know when our brakes are working or not working, so asking concerned me. Plus I've never seen a controller that doesn't have a manual mode, I could be in left field, but better safe than sorry.
