Electric brake controllers are an essential component for towing a trailer or caravan. They are designed to help you control the brakes on your trailer or caravan, activating them when the vehicle is under braking and retracting them when you get off the anchors, making it easier and safer to tow heavy loads. Below we will discuss what a brake controller is, whether they are portable, and how to install them.

Frequently Asked Questions

A brake controller is a device that is installed in your vehicle to control the electric brakes on your trailer or caravan. It works by sending a signal, taken from your vehicle's braking system, to the electric brakes on your trailer or caravan. This allows you to control the amount of braking force applied to the trailer or caravan.

Brake controllers are not typically portable, as they need to be hardwired into your vehicle's electrical system. However, select models may be removable and can be transferred between vehicles.

The installation process for a brake controller will vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. However, in general, the process involves mounting the controller in a convenient location in the lower half of the dash, connecting it to your vehicle's electrical system, and calibrating it to ensure it is working correctly.
