Anyone using Autowbrake (on trailer brake controller)?

I saw a video and it appeared to be legit. If so, that would make my preparations and installations so much easier.

how does that differ from Tekonsha - Trailer Brake Control - Proportional

I don't know, you tell me. I wasn't asking about what you linked too.

I know a few people have picked up new Scamps with the AuTOWbrake installed (because they use Subaru tugs. I saw one on a Facebook group but I can't find it now to ask her if she likes it.

Since Scamp will refer you to owners who will show their rigs as part of their referral program, perhaps they will do they same if you ask them for new owners who got the AuTOWbrake.

Thats a good question because the Tekonsha Prodigy line is a well established and very popular line of brake controllers. AUTOWbrake seems to be new with a much shorter track record. I see that the Tekonsha unit plugs in to the tug, then the trailer umbilical plugs into the Tekonsha. That would make it easier to install (and OP alluded to ease of installation) as well as make it easier to transfer to a different trailer than the AuTOWbrake version which is hard wired to the trailer. Also I would guess the AuTOWbrake keyfob would be harder to use when you need manual control of the trailer's brakes then the Tekonsha version.

I appreciate the replies, really. Thank you all.
