I don’t doubt it works, but if the end game of “drying” the trailer brakes is just to engage the brakes when you’re done, it just seems like an unnecessary step for little gain. I mean, besides the fact we are trained not to engage the trailer brakes when we park—or at least that’s how we were—in snowy conditions you can dry your brakes, but most times the undercarriage of the trailer is dripping with moisture. It seems like it wouldn’t take much to drip on your pads and drums to refreeze them after you’ve stopped. It’s just something you generally don’t have to deal with if you just don’t set your trailer brakes.</blockquote>
