Yeah, looks familiar. I just completed the exact same converter install. I'm amazed how little I can accomplish in a day. It took me 5 days to wire up the trailer and my truck with ebrakes,...

I've recently spent quite a bit of time under my trailer. What I see in your pictures is some superficial surface rust. I see a couple of soft spots on the trailer where it looks like someone has...

Very ambitious. Not many people could design and build their own controller.

That makes sense to me. If the voltage drop was sufficient, the current would drop and possibly not create enough magnetism to engage the brakes. But it would not fry the wire unless it was too...

Thanks Raspy, that's a good point about longevity. You have to wonder why they wouldn't go heavier with the wires feeding the actual magnet. The cost and time to re-do the job I just completed with...

Hey Stephan, thanks for the offer! Very kind of you. I'm in the last phases of getting this thing usable. I'm going to haul my mom to Sask in June on a little covid adventure. So, I'm just getting...

We shop at the same fine establishments! That's exactly what I bought to plug the 30 amp male into in case 15 amp was all that was there. I read something about the dogbone connectors to the effect...

Oh, thanks for the picture. I've never hooked up to anything in my life and didn't even know what was offered at a pedistal. I have the 30 amp flat and an adapter to normal 15 amp. I hope that...

Why 30 amp 10AWG to brake controller?

Hi, according to information online, each electromagnet in the braking system draws 3 amps (lets say 4 max). Since I have one axle, the max current draw would be 8 amps. So I pre-wired for the...

Thank you

Thanks Fritz. It's good to know which one is best to go to the trouble of installing.

Thanks very much..

Thank you Jon. At least I can install the correct inlet with some confidence now! That's what I have. I had no idea what was there before as the PO removed everything electrical decades ago. It...

Looks great! I was going to create a mold and make one as well, but ended up getting a sheet of that gel coated white fibreglass board that you can get from home depot. I got several feet of 1/2 inch...

Dexter ebrake hub/brake assemblies = universal?

Thanks for the reply Rolf! I think that's the way I will go too. I fantasize about lowering it enough to get into my heated garage. Getting a little tired of working in sub 4 degree torrential...

I've been doing some work on a 1980 Surf-side bought a month ago. Paid too much. Exploratory surgery revealed a couple of soft spots in the floor so I ended up completely gutting it, replacing...
