Thanks Chris!
Steve, the trailer has Warner electric brakes like the G221 series of trailer, but larger and only on the rear axle. I have the brake controller in the truck but it stops and tracks fine without the trailer brakes being used.

Yes, the electrics work well though they are difficult to adjust without the fixture.
What kind of trailer is that?

The trailer is my USMC shoe and textile repair trailer.

The building belongs to Depot Garage GMC truck dealership in Gustine, CA. After a little research, it appears they still use the building for their service department.
I really like this picture in black and white and I set it as my computer background.
