  • Brake Controller

    Posted by Rod on November 13, 2013 at 5:14 pm

    Hi everyone!

    Getting ready to roll our shop down the road behind us. I am going to need to install an electric brake control in the driver’s area. Does anyone know if Prevost or Liberty pre-wired for this?

    Thanks!

    You should have some spare wires run from front to back by Prevost. Or maybe the King ran Cat 5 for all his Bling Lights!:)

    You can get a controller that mounts on trailer and the wireless remote plugs into the lighter socket ..brake pedal is 24 volts ,brake boxes are 12 volt ,this one is made by Tecumseh I have one works great.. No wires to mess with just use light wires..

    An alternative if it is not too late is a surge brake. They work very well and the only electrical hook up is lights.

    So far, I haven’t seen any trailers with surge brakes, Jon.

    But I was looking around and was able to find the remote you talked about, Peter.

    Here is that link:
