Wow that's an oldie! Controller have come a long way since the Sentinel but it would technically still work if needed.

That being said for a trailer that weighs 10,000 lbs I would strongly recommend you go with a proportional brake controller like the Prodigy P2.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
