I use my trailer brake controller for slowing the rig down. I've done this all my life when on steep downhill grades. I don't over use the trailer brakes because I also don't let my speed get out of hand. I also don't constantly use them. I will use my truck brakes if my speed gets excessive, otherwise I will use a little trailer braking. I just took my trailer on a 5,000 mile trip which included going over the pass near Silverton Colorado. I have never had an issue with trailer brakes in all the years I've been towing, except for one time when a RV dealer rebuilt the brakes and installed them all wrong. Did you know your brakes can lock up when the parts fall off. LOL
