Been towing one for 3 years now. The braking system is a "surge" brake and it works amazingly well. You cannot lock up the trailer brake since once the brake applies it reduces the forward motion of the trailer reducing the breaking force applied by the surge brake. Acts almost like the Anti-Lock brake system on my Ultra.
The trailer is low enough that it slipstreams behind the bike and in situations where allowed it will fit through a hotel room with sliding door access. The only down side I have been aware of, and I have only been told this, is that the trailer tends to become airborne if a big enough bump is hit at speed. This has never caused any handling issues
