Trailer brakes on slick roads

Some of you guys may have been there, but do you disable the trailer brakes on slick roads or not? And if you do, how is it done?

Do not disable your brakes for slick roads. If you do, you may get a very close look at your boat as it jack knifes past your vehicle.

Pulled mine home appox. 120 miles. It rained at least half way home. I was impressed with how well the brakes worked. I am pulling a Sabre FTD on a tandem axle trailer with dual axle brakes and a 1998 Tacoma Pick Up. I am very well pleased with the way it pulls and stops. BASSBUD
