Good points for sure. I agree surely someone is smart enough to get brakes to work on this fancy ass truck.

I made a mistake in my original post, which I corrected. It makes no difference on my thoughts though.

On my GF's vintage 1965 camper, she normally/locally runs the 14" steel wheels/babymoons & Maxxis 14"s that I put on it for her. For the long trips though, now twice to KW & back, I run the 15" custom rims above & 15" Maxxis from my small catamaran's boat trailer.



EoH:
Myco uses BrakeRite Titan EoH setups exclusively last I knew. They have also sold a handful of members an add-on "module" that makes said controller work with some of the newer truck's factory systems. I believe that "module" is the same as here across the top line:

I don't have experience with Dexter EoH actuators. But BrakeRite/Titan seems to have it down.

Zipped down to Owens and Sons last weekend to pick my trailer up. Pulled it home 1100 miles. Rock solid.

Ended up going EoH brakes. Dexter 1600 with battery backup. Hauled it home with no trailer brakes because my new truck has no power to brakes at the RV plug. WTH? That's a GMC issue. Couldn't even feel this aluminum trailer though behind the 2500 Duramax.

I'm very pleased.

Thanks again for all of the feedback on Owens.

Didnt get the bow ladder. They didnt have the steps built, and I accepted it this way. I will be installing them locally.

Yes, all welded I beam construction. The only thing U bolted is the bow stop/winch post for adjustment, and it's galvanized steel like the axles.

For some years the fuse needed to run power to trailer recepticle is not inserted in the main fuse box under hood, it's a maxifuse, cant remember the amps.
