LOL! That's a bag of grass seed in a bucket behind the trailer! I have to be honest....I am starting to doubt myself. I also can't see any way my tailer has both. I am all but tempted to go hook up and see if my tailer does stop with the brake controller. I also wonder if perhaps the controller could apply the truck brakes?? Dang...I am certain I have tested the brakes with the controller...I am befumbled!
I see it now... I'd say you have surge brakes...

you have surge brakes, there is no electric pump located any where there to push brake fluid, it is all done as the tounge moves when you slow down. the only electric on your trailer is for your lights, sorry.

It's new years so I feel like being a smart ass! It does have the electric reverse lockout solenoid!That being said...I do agree...I don't have electric....never looked close before and my trailer wasn't home when this thread began.

Question about upgrading to EOH from surge.
What is the best way to handle the surge hitch? Is there a way to bolt it to prevent the movement or will I have to install a new hitch?
This is the only picture I have of it right now. It is a Heritage Trailer and the surge is built into the trailer.

When I did mine, I drilled 3 5/8" holes and installed grade 8 bolts to lock the coupler. Just make sure you pick an area that has plenty of metal surrounding the holes.

Getting ready to install the EOH unit this weekend.
The kit came with lines but it appears there is extra line looping back towards the end of the trailer. How hard would it be to pull the metal line towards the front for the install on the new system. I do not want to damage the line or kink it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
