Highest Number of Axles Brake Controller Will Work With
Question:
I have a bogie style trailer with 12 wheels that have 12 sets of 12 inch brakes. Will I need a special controller to run these brakes? Also wondering what size wire I will need to run to the brake assemblies.

There is a specific type of brake controller that you will need, which is one that is compatible with 6 axles (12 brake assemblies); that is not something we have as our brake controllers, which are designed to be used on recreational vehicles, will work with up to 4 axles (8 brake assemblies).
In regards to wiring you can use 10 Gauge Primary Wire # 10-1-1.
