Question:
I was curious if you set it up like he's suggest running a wire from the brake controller back to the second trailer how would you adjust the gain or second trailer be able to control the brakes back there and when these's a pulse train coming out of the controller to the electric over hydraulic system on the 5th wheel, how would that work with electric brakes on the second trailer?

Helpful Expert Reply:
So your electric over hydraulic brake actuator is receiving a standard brake controller output signal to tell it how to operate your EOH trailer brakes. So it would be possible that you could take this circuit (most likely blue wire) and extend it from where it connects to the actuator to the back of the first trailer so that you could then connect it to the electric brakes of your second trailer. You'd need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by foot) to get the circuit to the trailer wiring connector you have at the rear of your first trailer and connected to the 7-way you have there.
