Can Redarc Brake Controller be Used in Peterbilt Tractor Trailer
Updated 04/05/2021 | Published 04/01/2021
Question:
I am hauling my 5th wheel RV with my Peterbilt. I have the truck wired for RV electrical but have not installed a brake controller. I am researching to find the best controller for my setup. Would this model work well with my setup? Thanks.

The Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR is a great solution for towing a fifth wheel with your Peterbilt. Its a proportional controller which would be similar to the air brake setup of your tractor in that is can tell how hard you are applying the brakes and applies a similar amount of pressure to the trailer brakes.
