I think this would do the job for me. I’ve basically only ever used fully proportional brake controllers:
Real air brakes
Trailer tongue hydraulic disc
Hayes hydraulic over 12v
Hayes air over 12v
Maxbrake
DirecLink
Ford factory in F350
I once tried a Tekonsha sumthin when the Maxbrake failed that was promptly dubbed the “JerkaMatic”. It got us home but not my cup of tea.
Anyways I forgot to ask is the Curt Echo is nice and proportional or is it jerky like $50 plug in controllers.
Since having a trailer brake failure on a miles long western downgrade towing an 18,000lb 3 axle with a 2006 won ton I’ve pretty much quit towing with setups where my tow mobile cannot brake the whole rig for miles on a 6 to 8% grade.
