I have a 2011 Toyota 4Runner and would like to get a 16' Scamp. I have a hitch, and I know I need electrical hookups for the lights, but what about brakes?

Any info helpful, I'm new at this...
You need the trailer brakes.
Put a brake controller in the 4Runner.
The 4Runner needs a batttery charging wire back to the trailer battery also. Make certain that that wire has a relay on it so the trailer cannot draw power from the 4Runner battery when you are camping.
Not good to enjoy a couple of days in the boonies then find that the trailer has killed the car battery when you are ready to leave! Hummmm....how does he know that????
