To everyone following this thread, I didn't notice any mension of the
possible
legal tbl if you have an accident, maybe someone injured or killed and
some
lawyer discovers that you didn't have trailer brakes even though the
minivan
builder recommended them............$$$$$$$$$, and possibly your insurance
company will refuse to pay as a result of you not following that
recommendation!
Also some boat builders (BOSTON WHALER?) recommend against rollers on
trailers.

Just dug out the brocure for my '95 Voyager. At that time all they said was
you could tow 2000 pound load with the V6 engine. It's the 2004 version
that recommends brakes on a trailer over 1000 pounds.
I assume they are covering their ass because of crummy transmissions and
weak brakes.
