Can Brake Controller be Mounted to Trailer Instead of Vehicle
Question:
I'm currently working on a trailer design that will use electric brakes, the customer requests that the trailer have the brake controller vs the vehicle, what's the best way to accomplish this?

Expert Reply:
What your customer wants they can get because there is one brake controller that will mount directly on the trailer instead of their vehicle, which is from Autowbrake:
- Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller - Trailer Mount # 3430001
The Autowbrake # 3430001 wires directly to the junction box on the trailer and applies a proportional amount of braking based on the deceleration of the vehicle and trailer.
And even though there's no unit inside the vehicle cab, your customer can still activate the controller's manual override by pressing the center button on the included key fob.
