This air-actuated brake controller senses the amount of pressure that you apply to your vehicle's air brakes and then smoothly applies your trailer brakes proportionately.
This is an excellent way to provide proportional brake energy to trailers with electric brakes. Well designed, reasonably priced.
etrailer is very reliable for getting the orders out in a timely manner. The website is very easy to navigate and there are always explanations about products so you can verify that you are getting the proper product for what you need.
Installed and tested but not yet used. The controller is of very high design and build quality. For the air connection, all I had to do was tee into the air line that goes to the brake light switch which already has a double check valve in place.
Needed a brake controller for my RV hauler conversion. Worked great and very easy to install. Received quickly and staff was very helpful!
Good product, works great.
Kevin - 03/06/2022The controller worked ok for the three axle trailer but it would not lock the brakes even when the trailer was empty
Installed in 2002 Peterbilt 320 with air brake system, for use on electric over/hydraulic trailer brakes system. It works great!
Pate. - 02/18/2021 Pate. - 02/18/2021Definitely a great product! Easy installation and great instructions! I use my semi to pull my camper occasionally and this box works great for the electric brakes on the camper from the air brakes on my truck.
Works as expected Gives excellent braking proportion from air to electric.
Glen - 04/29/2021Would buy from this vendor again
the information provided with the is stall is very veg they could have told you where to get a check valve they could have showed you in detail how and where to hook into the air valve , what lines to hook into , or offed a video on how to install for what it cost it is a rip off, you need to let hays know this for future sales
Mike L - 04/09/2019I have not hooked up the unit yet. I have an overland osprey diesel pusher(dp). The coach has an exhaust brake. When the exhaust brake engages the brake lights automatically come on. Using a conventional electric brake controller like the Prodigy P2 would engage the trailer brakes when ever the exhaust brake engages, causing the trailer brakes to burn up on long down grades. I know this can be fixed by adding a diode in the wiring, but that involves tracing a lot of wires until I found the right one. this unit doesn't need to connect to the brake lights. it only needs the air pressure being applied to the brakes to engage the trailer brakes. It really is a sweet unit for a DP with air brakes.
Works great. Customer service was above and boyond helpful. 100% excellent. Thanks for a great product!!!!
Works great on my Peterbuilt 330 set up with a 12' flatbed with gooseneck and 2" receiver hitches. The electric trailer brakes actually work when you expect them to.
I have been very please with the Hayes Air Actuated Brake Controller, then one morning it wouldn't work. Tommie at etrailer was great helping me diagnose the problem and replaced the unit asap. Great service!
Purchased this for a Class 8 truck with air brakes. It was easy to mount and to install. Wiring it up was a snap, but I was surprised that I ordered 2 and did not receive instructions with either. Had to go online to get a schematic and operating/mounting instructions. Wasn't a big deal as etrailer had it on the product description, but if you're old school like me you expect to receive instructions with the product.
Hard to adjust and you can't test the trailer brakes with it. Never fells like the trailer is getting power to activate the trailer brakes even though there's 12 volts going to the brake wire
Totally bulletproof compared to wimpy electronic controller. Breeze to install. Easy to control. Fast order fulfilment. Good staff
Received controller in record time yesterday. It is going to be installed in my Peterbilt 379 soon. I can't atttest to it's quality as it hasn't been installed but overall it looks great!
Came very quickly!
The support from etrailer has been great. Following up on their products along with the resources they offer online has been excellent.
Works great brakes much more even the more you apply the paddle the more braking you get
Got it fast
Very happy with this brake controller.
E TRAILER WAS ON TOP OF MY ORDER FROM START TO FINISH WILL BE DOING BUSSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN
