That is cheap for the peace of mind knowing that I have the best control over my trailer.
Doesn't seem bad at all. Did you already have the brake controller or do you have an in-vehicle on that was compatible?

I was told don't not to go with the stainless rotors because they warp. Anybody have any experiance with them? They would be my choice especialy in salt. Doug

Yes, I already had the elec. brake controller in the truck, to pull the 5th wheel.

Still thought would be much higher $$$$ , pretty cheap for what you get.

I switched my surge drum to just plain electric drum on my 29 fever . they work great . it is cheap because all you need is new backing plates with the shoes and magnets for about $50 a wheel . weld the coupler solid and you probly already have a brake controler in your truck . that is all you need . I would not use this setup in salt water .
