No, you do not need a trailer brake module. The Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR includes a remote controller with LED display that lets you monitor the braking system from your motorhome. It mounts in the cab and plugs into a 12V accessory outlet. It lets you activate your Wrangler's brakes in an emergency situation or to correct sway.
