Question:
Is there one brake controller to put in my air brake motorhome to control the electric brakes on my dolly, electric brakes on a flatbed trailer and also control a brake device in a toad?

Expert Reply:
A brake controller like the part # 90885 would do an excellent job controlling the brakes in your dolly and flat bed trailer, but to control the brakes in your toad vehicle you would need a supplemental braking system like the Even Brake part # RM-9400.
Brake controllers can activate electric trailer brake assemblies but there is no way to have them activate the brakes in a vehicle, that's where the # RM-9400 comes in.
I attached a couple review vides and a help article on brake controllers for you to check out as well.
