Range Of Key Fob On Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller

Question

Question:

I purchased and installed the auto brake on a tow dolly behind my 34 Foot RV. The wiring was a bit confusing, but we got it right the first time. WE calibrated and test drove with a load. all good. Problem and question: The FOB does not work from the drivers seat. I am sure its a distance thing, how can I correct this? Please advise

The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller - Trailer Mount - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # 3430001 key fob has a range up to 300 feet away per the manufacturer. So it should work just fine with your 34 foot RV. It sounds like your key fab could be faulty if so The Replacement Key Fob for Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # AU54FR is the replacement FOB for your controller. The fob could also be having motorhome interference.
