Can Supplemental Braking System for Flat Towing be Used as Brake Controller
Question:
Hello, I have an SMI air force one set up for my tow car. I would like to get an enclosed trailer with electric brakes now. Is there any way that I can use my SMI air force one air brake outlet i have at the back of the RV to proportional convert to a signal for the electric brakes on a trailer? Thank you

You are going to need a brake controller installed in your tow vehicle as there is no way to convert an SMI Air Force One to be used as a brake controller for a trailer.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. 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.
