Expert Reply:
You would need the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly with Parking Brake Left # 23-112 and Right # 23-113 for each axle to use the brakes as a parking brake. The Dexter Breakaway and Parking Kit for Drum Brakes # T2385200 will give you the cables and handle needed to set the brakes.
The only way to keep the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Left # 23-105 and Right # 23-106 would require constant 12 volt power to keep the electromagnet engaged to the brake drum.
