I want to take my trailer its a jaco 29 ftr over the Rockies to the oakanagan valley. I was told that i would have to put on new rotors as the ones fitted would over heat braking down some of the hills and that I would need a trany cooler as well due to the hard work my truck will have oh its a 1500 chevi avalanche could some one please advise me as the information I got is not reliable

Brakes and a tranny cooler are not bad ideas for your Avalanche. You may want to look into some trailer brakes as well.
