Expert Answers about Forest River Trailer Breakaway Kit
- Can a Diode Be Installed on Trailer Brake Controller Output Wire to Prevent Back Feed?
- I would not recommend installing a Diode # RM-690 on the brake line as this is a part which can fail and if it were to you could risk doing a lot of damage.
