Thread: Towing braked trailers

You need a brake controller, get an inertia one. Electric brakes are pretty much standard on modern caravans.

The cheap dial ones that live on the drawbar are crap, and borderline dangerous. I had one of these and to have it setup for driving at 50km/h+ meant that it would lock up every time I touched the brakes doing under 20km/h. Some Jaycos come with these.

I installed a Tenkosha P3 which is awesome but would probably put in an elecbrakes drawbar setup if doing again, just for simplicity and not having to modify the tow vehicle. It is so much less stress with a decent brake controller.
