Their operation doesn't change in any way - they work the same way on a downgrade as they do on flat ground. Now the manner in which they're used will change - occasional snub braking will be used to regulate speed on the downgrade.

1 way trailer brakes can get you killed...If you are going down a long steep grade (hill) your car/truck brakes (which are only made to stop your car or truck) will get hot and glaze over and eventually completely fail if your trailer brakes don't work properly.You will probably go over the side of the hill,crash into something and kill yourself and possibly other people.If it don't work,don't tow it.

Do car brakes overheat?

Car brakes work by applying friction between two surfaces converting the motion (kinetic energy) to heat and slowing down the car. Traveling a downgrade for long distances can result in the brakes overheating and the friction surfaces grinding down and/or burning out. The correct thing to do is to downshift your transmission to prevent the vehicle from gaining too much downhill speed.

On a long steep descent which is better for your car gearing down with high revs or using brakes to slow down?

By far the best method to slow down is to look at the road ahead to work out if you need to slow down, and then to back off the accelerator (gas pedal) and let the car slow naturally so that you arrive at the next bend/junction (or whatever) without actually having to use the brakes or down-shift at all.Otherwise, use the brakes, they are cheaper and easier to replace when they wear out than the engine/transmission.
