Does Karavan KHD-2990-72-12 have Trailer Brakes
Question:
I bought a 6x12 flat bend 1 axel utility trailer. I would like to have brakes on them. I was told all trailers have brakes and only needed a controller. Is this true? its a karavan KHD-2990-72-12-PR 2029 lb. payload capacity.

Expert Reply:
Most likely your trailer has brakes, but not every single trailer out there does have them. I did some checking though and your Karavan KHD-2990-72-12-PR does have a set of 10 inch brake drums installed so you'd just need a brake controller installed in your tow vehicle and you'd be able to operate them.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
