Just got it 5 minutes ago.
Yes I like it and thanks very much. I liek every thing I get from u guys but the latter rack I got for my truck
Quick shipping and great service as usu al...Thanks!!!
Excellent quality same as the original box on my Aluma trailer. The agents were very helpful in making sure I did receive the right box.
Lightning fast processing and delivery!! Next day, even with the free shipping because of the size of the order!
It will take me a few days to get this installed, but the kit looks complete and well thought out.
Initially the product was going to take a while to arrive and I immediately got an email from etrailer to that effect and to see if there was an alternative I would prefer that was in stock. I went with the original order and decided to wait. The wait turned out to be much shorter than I expected and it arrived within a couple of weeks. Great customer service and follow up.
Sorry about the delay, the truck was stuck in the fire evacuation zone. Everything is OK now. The breakaway switch worked fine. Even installed it in the same mounting hole as the broken one. The battery box also works fine, although the trailer didn't have the 12v wire connected. After fixing that it shows when the trailer is connected and tests the battery well. The only misleading indication is the charging light is lit, even if the truck battery has a lower voltage than the trailer battery. Not a problem.
I received my bright way trailer breakaway kit three days early. That was great. I haven’t put the kit on yet but delivery was quick and I do appreciate that.
Well made. Installed easily.

After a year, the kit is working fine. It is constantly powered from a local battery on the trailer so the internal battery is constantly charged. The large battery has a 100w solar panel on it.

The battery was fully charged when it arrived and still fully charged a couple of months later when I finally got around to installing it. Works as expected. The lanyard for the breakaway switch is pretty long (50",) so I installed it as far back as I could on the trailer frame.

Great. I have not needed the breakaway controller. I have noticed the battery holds a charge for a long time, so even though I don’t use the tailer for months at a time, it stays charged and gets topped off when I use the trailer.
The only disappointment - original est arrival was on a Friday before deep freeze temps hit my area only to be revised to Tuesday in the middle of single digit temps. No biggie for some but uncomfortable for Virginia folks. Kit arrived complete with the battery fully charged. Once the daytime highs shot above 40 deg, it took about 30 minutes to remove the old Breakaway kit and install the new. Original mounting holes from the factory Aluma kit matched the Bright Way battery box perfectly. Tandem brakes on 16' trailer are good to go.
I retrofitted my utility trailer with this kit and it worked perfectly easy installation!
This breakaway kit is effective and does exactly what I need it to do. Happy with the results one year out.
Excellent choice in backup brake battery kits for trailers. Easy to install and works!
Order arrived earlier than expected - Customer service was great on the phone and product selection was very good - videos were also informative and help in my selection
you where good
Nice replacement for my trailer. Easy to install. Nice wiring diagram on top of unit.
I suggest if you’re in the trailer industry and have a business don’t buy from this company, they have a date that it’s supposed to come and it’s a joke, I ordered it on Saturday 22nd and was supposed to be here on the 25th which it tomorrow. It’s still in Utah. So if you run a trailer business and need parts asap you’re better off buying from AMAZON OR YOUR LOCAL TRAILER STORE. Again DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY THEYRE FULL OF IT. This is disappointing especially when you rely on them, and they let you down. Don’t do it, again don’t do it. The only way I’ll take my review down is if I receive it by tomorrow the 25th.
All the products are what was described and at a reasonable cost. Arrived in the time that was expected. Would recommend them.
I wired it up to recharge off of the house battery in the trailer, I put the wiring in the old battery box. Now it's easy test, easy re-charge. It took a while to get it but well worth the wait.
excellent product and just what i needed to match my other trailers
First things first. Love your company! Keep up the great work. etrailer has been my go to site for all my trailer needs. As for the break away kit. I got a used inclosed trailer and it had a very large truck battery inside the trailer with a very large hole in the floor for the trailer breakaway system. An eye sore to say the least and very much in my way. I was shopping around etrailer site found the Bright way breakaway system. Watched the review about it. Did not think it would work for my two axle brake system. Ordered it anyway. Installed on outside of trailer. Did all this after installing new brakes. Did a test and I could not get the wheels to turn with trailer off the ground as well as doing a test with the trailer on my truck and the breakaway system worked and held the truck in place. Bottom line is the system does it job for a small battery. Love the system. It is small, can be placed almost anywhere, and again does its job. Only issue I had with it was the two screws that hold the cover closed started to rust after the first time it got wet. I replace them with better ones.

Computer software and breakaway kits alike, those two qualities are fundamental :) What kind of set up do you have this installed on?
