The battery was fully charged when it arrived and still fully charged a couple of months later when I finally got around to installing it. Works as expected. The lanyard for the breakaway switch is pretty long (50",) so I installed it as far back as I could on the trailer frame.

This made the brake system rebuild super easy. Great price and shipping is always fast with etrailer

I bought a used trailer and its breakaway was in rough shape with a dead battery. This kit was easy to install and has been working great.
by: Richard 07/12/2023
First off my 20' trailer I bought is only 2 years old, I tried every place in town and no one had a breakawway kit to match mine, all they said it was an old style. Got on computer found etrailer got the best cudtomer service and was able to get full demension, was an exact match, hooked it up and is working great.

Item is as described
by: Vince07/27/2022
First things first. Love your company! Keep up the great work. etrailer has been my go to site for all my trailer needs. As for the break away kit. I got a used inclosed trailer and it had a very large truck battery inside the trailer with a very large hole in the floor for the trailer breakaway system. An eye sore to say the least and very much in my way. I was shopping around etrailer site found the Bright way breakaway system. Watched the review about it. Did not think it would work for my two axle brake system. Ordered it anyway. Installed on outside of trailer. Did all this after installing new brakes. Did a test and I could not get the wheels to turn with trailer off the ground as well as doing a test with the trailer on my truck and the breakaway system worked and held the truck in place. Bottom line is the system does it job for a small battery. Love the system. It is small, can be placed almost anywhere, and again does its job. Only issue I had with it was the two screws that hold the cover closed started to rust after the first time it got wet. I replace them with better ones.

Truly makes installing the brake controller a snap... two snaps actually.
by: Steven01/28/2020
etrailer is great as always. They are my sole source for everything trailer and I have never had a complaint against them.
This product on the other hand, horrible. They apparently have no quality control and make a crap product. When I received it, I took out the two screws holding the lid closed, to charge the battery before installing it on my trailer. When I went to open the lid, the first thing I noticed was the hinge on the lid was broken in two of three places holding the hinge to the lid. (see attached pictures) I immediately contacted etrailer and they sent me a replacement, like I said before they are great.
So I just received the replacement, I gently opened the box and the first thing I did was check the hinge. Wanna guess? Yep it was broken in two of the three places as well. The product packaging was in excellent shape, the shipping boxes were in great shape for both, there are no signs of shipping damage. So this is a lid that is supposed to be mounted to a trailer and survive the elements for years and it can't even make it to the consumer without damage.
NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Great product. Easy installation. Helpful instructions. Saved $$ over paying someone to install. Works p perfectly
by: Bob 05/19/2023
Well built and easy to install. Like the visible charged condition lights
by: Chad11/11/2021
Purchased because this is what my trailer had before and I didnt want to rework the mounting or wiring. This setup is good for about 4-5 years. The labeling and film over the buttons does not stand up to UV rays very well and came off almost immediately, letting water into the enclosure. It seems like the circuitboard for the charger is mostly water resistant and the battery box drains well enough. Serviceable average grade kit.

fast shipping
product as expected
by: David11/01/2021
We've had serious problems with it the biggest problem we've had is it corroded the plug up so bad we could hardly see the terminals. Have no idea what it is or what caused it

The breakaway kit would not have caused corrosive issues. I would follow your 7 way wire up to see where the corrosion starts. Perhaps there is a nick in the wire or other damage. Once corrosion starts on a terminal, without seeing it, it can quickly transfer onto the vehicle side.
by: Forrest08/22/2019
Mounted fine and works as intended. Coated terminals on battery with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion because the battery box isn't water tight. Otherwise great product for the price.

- Adding Electric Trailer Brakes to Homemade TrailerFirst I have attached below a link to our help article on adding trailer brakes that may help you throughout the process. For installing the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469 your trailer must have 13" or larger wheels. The brake mounting flange is the same dimension as the smaller Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-47-48 for 10-13" wheels. It will really come down to the spindle dimensions that you have on your axle and since you do not have any axle information...

- Recommended Axle Setup For a 5 X 8 Off-Road Trailer With Jeep WheelsI recommend using the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR1THDS03. This system has a upgraded spindle designed for additional strength. It includes a 4" lift spindle for additional ground clearance and will place your hub face for your Jeep wheels 8-1/2" from the frame and the axle centerline 9-5/8" below the bottom of the frame. If this is not far away enough for your Jeep wheels and tires you will need to then use some wheel spacers to push the wheels out further. The Electric...
view full answer... - Converting Hydraulic Drum Brakes to Electric Brakes on Tandem 3,500 Lb Axle Boat TrailerYes, plenty of people choose to use electric brakes on their boat trailer because of the lower maintenance and cost as compared to hydraulic brakes. To replace your current hydraulic brakes I recommend our Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA. This includes both the right hand and left hand brake assemblies, mounting bolts and adjuster plugs. If you are unable to reuse your old nuts and lock washers, those are sold separately as part # BRKH10B. Since you were checking out hub # Q-HUB84545,...

First you will need to verify your hub bearings and grease seal to ensure you have the standard 3,500LB sizes. The Inner Bearing # L68149(1.378" ID), Outer Bearing # L44649(1.063" ID) and Grease Seal # 58846(1.719" ID) are the common sizes used on 3,500lb axles and the hubs. We have the Hub/Drum # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K for EZ Lube spindles or the Hub/Drum # AKHD-545-35-G-K for standard spindles. Both hubs are...

If the pin is fine on your breakaway kit and you just need a cable we do carry cables by themselves # RM-8603 I have also included a link to all of the cables with pins that we carry. The cable and pin you referenced, # 3802350, is designed for Bright Way breakaway switch 3802308.
view full answer... - Changing From Hydraulic to Electric Trailer Brakes on Trailer With 2,000 lb AxleI took a look at the specs of your 1998 Jayco Eagle 12UDST, and it looks like this is a single axle trailer with a 2,000 lb axle. That means you likely have a 7" hub and drum like the Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-257-5UC3-EZ, though you will want to confirm that by measuring the inside diameter of the hub. If you do have a 7" hub and drum, as well as a 4-bolt mounting flange like # 4-34, the correct electric brakes are the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies...
view full answer... - Converting Trailer From Air Brakes to Electric BrakesSo to convert from hydraulic air brakes to electric drum brakes on your trailer there are a few things you will need. The brakes, of course, but also a junction box, trailer side 7-way, breakaway kit, and wire: - Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box # 277-000141 - Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802308 - Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire (sold per foot) # 10-2-1 The brakes are going to depend on the size of your drum and axle capacity. For example...

It's probably best to start with a 7-way junction box like the part # 277-000141 which comes with a new 7-way ran back to a junction box that you can run all of the wiring functions to. We also sell jacketed 7-way wire by the foot too with part # DW04914-1 but in reality it might be best to run 10 gauge wire...
view full answer... - Trailer Breakaway Kit For Replacement of Melted KitI'm certainly sorry to hear that; there are a couple of issues that may have caused this, from a bad kit to the far more likely scenario of there being a short somewhere along the wiring, though it's not possible for me to say with any real certainty. I do have to say that the breakaway definitely needs its own battery, which is required by law in most states. I highly recommend going with a breakaway kit that has its own battery, from Bright Way. You can choose from either a 5 or 10...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Electric Trailer Brakes to Trailer With 3,500 lb AxleWe can get your trailer with a 3,500 lb axle set up with electric brakes, and the first thing you'll need to do is be sure your axle has a 4-bolt brake mounting flange. If not, you can have one welded to the axle beam, but if you already have one you won't need it. I'll go ahead and list out all the parts needed: - Hub and Drum: Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3 - Brake Mounting Flange for 2-3/8" Round Axle # 4-35 - Electric...
view full answer... - Recommended All-In-One Axle And Suspension Kit For A Trailer With 5 On 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern WheelsFor an all-in-one kit your best option is the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Electric Brake Hubs - Straight Spindle - 3,500lbs # A35RS545E. This axle-Less system provides a smooth, quiet, safe ride and can eliminate the need for an axle, allowing for maximum ground clearance and a low deck height. Suspension units replace your existing axle and operate independently to fit any frame width. The AEON progressive-rate main springs absorb road shock and support trailer's load...
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assemblies For Converting a 5,200lb Dexter Axle To Electric BrakesYes, the 5,200lb Dexter axle you currently have will use the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-105-106 as you are converting to electric brakes. The only brake assemblies available for 5,200lb axles are all hydraulic. I recommend upgrading to the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-458-459 as this will increase the life of your brakes and save you from having to adjust your brakes every 3,000 miles. If your drums/hubs are grooved from the old brakes you can replace...

This will then tie into a Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802308 before going to the brakes themselves. You will need 12 Gauge Wire # 12-1-1(sold by the foot) to run to the trailer brakes(see diagram). Connectors # DW05745-1 and Ring Terminals # 44-5310A are needed to terminate the brake wires at the drums. I have linked our article...

- Trailer Breakaway Kit For Small Utility TrailerBreakaway kits aren't fits for any specific trailer, and while it doesn't look like the trailer you mentioned has electric brakes, if you were somehow able to add them, then for a breakaway kit the best option is the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with 1-Amp Charger and 5 Ah Battery - Top Load # 3802308. I have added links below to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well.

Start by going over your wiring to ensure there are no wires that are damaged, nicked, or broken. Also be sure that the battery is fully charged, and you have a good ground.

The first option is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E. This kit is designed for Dexter axles with oil bath hubs that are made after May 2013. The second option is the # K2R1058D11HD.

I'm not sure what the mounting bolt pattern is for your 2327 but for the 3802308 the mounting holes are spaced 5-11/16" apart horizontally and 1-5/16" apart vertically so you can compare that to what you currently have.

As far as a great breakaway system for your 2020 Hay Flight 29RKS, the breakaway options depend on where you want to mount the switch. For the best options, I recommend the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with 1-Amp Charger and 5 Ah Battery # 3802308 (top loading) or the Curt Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger # C52042 (side loading).

You will want to make sure this is the only battery on the trailer that would have power to power objects to determine if it was wired incorrectly.

Great. I have not needed the breakaway controller. I have noticed the battery holds a charge for a long time, so even though I don’t use the tailer for months at a time, it stays charged and gets topped off when I use the trailer.
