Can I use Curt Wireless Brake Controller on RV with 29 Foot Range?
Question:
I have a RV 2918 Greyhawk with tow package, I will be towing 12 foot dual axle enclosed trailer. Will the distance from hitch to cab, 29 feet, be a problem?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 has a range of 50 feet although this does depend on how well your phone receives bluetooth signals. We tested this with the usual newer mobile devices and found no issues with it at that range.
Now, if you do lose connection, the controller will still work and operate based on the settings given at the last connection. You just won't have the panic/emergency brake override button until your mobile phone reconnects. With the distance of 29 feet fron your cab to your hitch on your 2018 Jayco Greyhawk, you shouldn't have any issues with using this device.
