    Trailer Brakes Disconnecting Intermittently

    I have a 2014 Ram 2500 pulling a 31' travel trailer. After about 3 weeks on the road, I get the message to check the wiring & trailer is disconnected.

    Brake Controller Help

    I have a 2015 Silverado 2500HD with the integrated brake controller. When slowing down and at about 10mph, I can feel the truck shimmy a little. Not a big problem but never happened with my old camper (new one is about 7k lbs dry). Any advice on what to check out?

    Brake Buddy battery draw

    Hello folks. I will soon have a constant 12 volt charge line run to my toad battery, but have a question in the interim. I know it very much depends on how much you use the brakes while driving, but on average how long can I use the Brake Buddy (Vantage - Select) in my towed vehicle before it...

    Brake noise

    When I plug in the pigtail from pup to TV, there is a buzzing sound that is intermittent, as if it were a beeper rather than a buzzer. The sound comes from the area of the converter. I do not have a battery, and am not plugged in otherwise. Any ideas? Thanks

    oem integrated brake controller

    I've been looking, searching, and trying to find out if I can make an oem brake controller work in my 2016 E450 Forester 2651S. Near as I can figure, the wiring is behind the cubby hole/coin holder. I can buy the factory brake controller, and my local Ford dealer says they can reflash the ECU to...

    Positive: RViBrake system

    Anybody looking for a brake system for their toad needs to check out the RViBrake system.

    2006 Jeep Liberty and NSA Ready Brake

    Does anyone use the Ready Brake with their '06 Liberty toad? If so, how did you route the cable from behind the Liberty's brake and where to the front of the vehicle? We're still looking at what type of brake system we want to use and this seems to be about as no fuss as any, regarding...
