Brake Controller - Short
Hello, The other day I had some truck problems so a friend had to tow my trailer while my truck was being towed. He has a prodigy brake controller that would show a short and then it would go out....

This is brake wire.
Brake wire
SJ cord USES the SAME jacket as your trailers power cord and even the trailer to vehicle cable. My trailer is parked beside a busy road and GETS a lot of winter cold along with the salt spray from the road. Trailer is plugged in year round and I have not seen any deterioration of that cord and it is the original cord and at 31 years of age I don't think anyone is going to have a problem using SJ..
That SJ jacket will easily outlast the trailer.
I don't buy into the idea that a wire sold as "RV" wire or "brake wire" is going to last longer. You brake wires ARE out of the sun so UV exposure is not an issue.
