JMO. If it’s an inertia type controller, and you are on ice.....when braking the truck you will get little to no inertia, thereby “no” braking to the trailer! Am I correct in this assumption? This was much of the reason we went with the Brakesmart!
You are correct. While some talked about ice, something as simple as wet leaves or mud in a campground might leave you wishing that your foot controlled the brakes. The idea that your trailer brakes will only assist if your truck already has the ability to stop is almost funny. Since few would not spend the money, or didn't understand the function or were too lazy to hook up an additional circuit, we are left with the current crop of guesswork controllers. At least the truck manufacturers understood the merit of a driver controlling the brakes and used a system almost as good as the Brakesmart.
