The brakes on my boat trailer are basic inertia brakes. Trailer pushes against the car, brakes engage. So i dont have an option to brake the trailer independently of the car. But coasting and letting things even out has worked for me. The biggest factor is, in my opinion, is having eyes in the back of your head and paying attention what you are towing and how it is behaving.
