Brake Controller?

I guess I need to rephrase my question. In order for the electric brakes to function on the cargo trailer, does the Tioga Montera require the addition of a brake controller, or will the electronic brakes function w/out one? I had to add one to my pickup in order for the electronic trailer brakes to function. I want the brakes to function regardless of any law.

Depending on the laws in your state, you are required to have brakes on any trailer weighing over 3,000 or 3,500 lbs, and for them to function, the TV has to have a controller. Not sure what exactly to recommend by way of specific models, just wanted to say it isn't just a matter of "should I" but a matter of the law. Have a wreck with any rig that isn't legal, and you will find yourself buying the entire mess, no matter what else happened.
