Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for a 1999 Beaver Patriot Ticonderoga 37 RV Motorhome

Question:

Hello. I am looking for an electric trailer break controler for a 1999 Beaver Patriot Ticonderoga 37 Diesel Pusher motorhome. I do not know if the coach has been pre wired from the factory like my pick up was. It has been set up for towing a vehicle on a tow bar, with an air hose activating the cars break control unit. Coach has air breaks I would like to tow an 18 to 20 flatbed trailer with electric breaks.... not puchased yet. Im asking what my options are. Thank you

I recommend using the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller # HA100400C on your 1999 Beaver Patriot Ticonderoga 37 motorhome. This controller ties into the air actuated brakes on your RV and will provide an electrical output for the trailer brakes. You need this type of brake controller to ensure the brakes for the trailer are only activated when your air brakes are used. This will prevent any false braking as the brakes lights can activate when using exhaust brakes.
