Brake Controler
I want to tow a medium size flat bed trailer behind my Class A MH. It is a diesel pusher. I want to transport my toad. Now before I get the, "tow it four down" "Use a dolly" reply's, It's a Corvett...

So exactly how does that work if you're not applying any pressure on the brake pedal? There are times when I simply use the two stage Jake to slow my rig to almost a complete stop....just curious....Dennis
That is one of the advantages of this style controller, you will not be burning up or fading your trailer brakes every time you hit the jake. When you need them in a panic stop, they will be there and strong; right along with your coach's brakes.

This is correct, if you are not using the tow vehicle's brakes you do not use the trailer brakes.
These controllers are not effected by inclines and down grades, they work off the pressure you apply to the tow vehicle brakes, not a pendulum to sense inertia (deceleration)of the tow vehicle.
They connect directly to the air system of your brakes.
They work well but are not easy to install.
