Presume also that all 3 of the Axles on a 42-13 have drums.. on the Valor

difficult to say if the rotors are 'worth' the upgrade .. anyone have experience ?

When towing, DC power for braking comes from the brake circuit from the truck.

During a break-away event, full-braking is applied and that DC power is supplied from whatever house batteries your dealer installed or from Lithium batttery(ies) is you order a solar package that includes them.

Right - there isn't a dedicated battery anywhere that powers the break-away function. Simply, whatever your house batteries are (FLA, LiFePO4, AGM etc.).
