Frequently Asked Questions​

A trailer brake controller regulates the braking force applied to the trailer’s electric brakes, synchronizing them with the tow vehicle for safer stopping.
Without a brake controller, the trailer relies solely on the tow vehicle’s brakes, increasing stopping distance and reducing overall control.
In many regions, brake controllers are required for trailers over a certain weight. Requirements vary by location and trailer size.
Common types include time-delayed controllers and proportional controllers, with proportional models offering smoother and more responsive braking.
Proportional brake controllers are generally preferred for RVs because they apply braking force based on real-time vehicle deceleration.
Yes. Most vehicles can be equipped with a brake controller, even if they weren’t factory-prewired.
Yes. Installation includes proper wiring, power connection, brake signal integration, and controller calibration.
Yes. Incorrect settings can cause weak braking, wheel lockup, uneven braking, or increased wear on brake components.
Yes. Calibration ensures braking force matches trailer weight, load conditions, and towing setup.
Most installations are completed within a short service visit, depending on vehicle wiring and controller type.
Yes. Brake controllers complement weight distribution and sway control systems by improving braking stability.
Installation is recommended before towing any trailer with electric brakes, especially before long trips or heavy towing.
