My trailer weight 12k+ lbs. I've tried light electric, heavy electric, and heavy electric over hydraulic. Still same result, feels like the camper is pushing me especially at slow speeds when the speed is too slow for the exhaust brake. At slow speeds, I believe we are on our own for stopping, relying on the truck's disc brakes. I can hear the electric brakes activating; however, the truck will not let the trailer brakes fully activate. I'm going to go along a little farther with this before I go aftermarket Tekonsha.
