Question:
Hello I’m trying to tow a Jeep behind Winnebago view that is built on a Mercedes’ sprinter. Will the echo work if I also have a patriot?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Echo # C51180 is a wireless brake controller for trailers, not flat towing. The Echo will activate the electric brakes on a towed trailer but for activating the brakes on a flat towed Jeep behind your Winnebago View you need a supplemental braking system such as the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System, # BLU37TR. You can use one or the other depending on what you are towing.
