Does a 1971 AirStream actually have electic brakes where a controller would be used.
They sure do. My friend has a 70 model with electric brakes. I crawled up under my trailer and verified that it does. Even the owners manual shows the wiring for it.

When you hit the brakes and they light up you can see this in rearview mirror by looking at these two lenses.
