Nose weight is around 200lbs, towing about 7000lb.

But trailer brakes on this side of the pond work differently to your North American trailers. We don't have electronic brake controllers, we have a concertina drawbar - when the weight of the trailer shortens the drawbar it activates the trailer brakes.
