A few things in this thread really bothers me. One, that someone is "Limping" along with NO brakes a great distance. Not knowing that they are bad or weak is one thing but knowingly going on and on without brakes on a heavy trailer on any roads is just plain negligent. In the event of an emergency stop, you will not! Unless you are towing with a very large truck.....OP never mentions what TV is used.
I can imagine what an accident investigator would do when they discover the brakes are in poor condition or failed from lack of inspection, testing or plain maintenance.
Second thing was another poster's comments that they towed through a trip with no brakes and recommended basically "Just take it easy and you will be OK" (not the direct quote) is plain hogwash.
We all have to take responsibility for our units and maintain them properly. Even if there is a failure that is premature, or a fault of DRV, component mfg etc. Don't take these risks for yourself and also those around you on the road.
Get off the road and get the parts sent to you and fix it. What ever it takes. Is this risk worth keeping a travel schedule? Really??
I think plenty of folks have answered how to find the parts, contact Kodiak and DRV etc. I truly hope you are able to get the parts and continue your trip safely.
OK, my 2 cents. FWIW.
