I recommend using the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller part # C51180 on a 2023 Newmar SuperStar. The reason for this is because it's a wireless controller which means there is no running wires from the front to the rear. There is no brake controller port on this motorhome so in order to avoid a bunch of wire splicing and running wires, I highly recommend a wireless brake controller, the Curt Echo.

Hey Antoine, so the two kits you mentioned are actually really similar and honestly I would go with the part #ETBC7 if I were you. The #ETBC7L is basically the same thing minus a couple wires and breakers so you may as well get the kit that has…

The trailer brakes work on a separate circuit than the lights. You have a couple of options to control the electric brakes on the trailer. One option is to use an air over electric brake control, #HA100400C. This unit connects to the air brakes on…

Hey Travis, congrats on the new 2024 Jayco Flight 284BHS! Your travel trailer looks to have a GVWR of 7,950 lbs so I recommend going with the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution w/ 4-Point Sway Control #EQ37121ET and pairing it with the Shank…
