Question:
Need to replace my break away kit on dual axle electric brake utility trailer. Cant tell which is best. Do you recommend one over another? Say Hopkins vs Reese?

Expert Reply:
Our most popular breakaway system is the Hopkins Engager part # 20099 which would be an excellent option. The similar Tekonsha part # 50-85-313 would also work really well, but since the Hopkins has a better price and more positive reviews it would be the system I would personally go with if I were you.
I attached an install video plus a help article on these systems for you to check out as well.
