Expert Reply:
The Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA and Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-458-459 are both great options. If you're looking for the best available option then go with the Dexter but if you're looking for a good economical option then go with the etrailer. It's very similar to what you see in the local grocery stores with the name brands and the store's value brand. They are both great and will work well for you although one might be a bit better overall in terms of quality. I recommend the etrailer due to the cost savings.
