How Do Tandem Axle Trailer Brakes Normally Wire Up
Question:
Hello Again, I know I have asked quite a few questions but I have finally done some more research. I am redoing the wiring on a 16 ft rv trailer that is over 80. I have stripped it to the chassis and found that I it is dual axle with duel electric brakes. I am unsure if I need additional wiring or splicing on the wiring harness you sell for electric brakes. My truck currently has a brake controller so I do not need one. Thank You Again,

Wiring up dual axles with brakes isn't too difficult at all. If you check out the picture I attached you can see how we recommend doing it with 10 gauge wire like our part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot.
The second picture I attached shows a general wiring diagram for a trailer as well.
