Yes, it can Steve! We have talked to Curt before and their Echo Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180 can be mounted vertically!

What kind of trailer do you have?

Hey Steve, how did the vertical mount work out with your Echo brake controller? Your setup details could really help others wondering about the same orientation. What kind of trailer are you using it with?

@JerredH Hey Jerred, mounted vertically it was too close to the ground. I got a 3ft extension with a 90 degree plug and zip tied the echo to the frame of the trailer. It worked well. I'm towing a 20ft Airstream. Thanks for your help!
