You have 7000 pounds of trailer and cargo, and you are towing at 80 mph without trailer brakes? Your trailer brakes should be stopping your trailer, not your vehicle brakes. Otherwise you can find the trailer overtaking you and jackknifing. That is dangerous at the best of times, let alone in heavy rain.
