I wondered how those work all the time too. You very rarely find them here in Europe, I only once have seen some advertising for them from a Dutch company. I am not even sure if they were not street legal here or just not common. About every trailer over 750 kg here has surge brakes (mostly mechanical, some larger ones hydraulic). Or depending on size you will find air brakes.

What a treat to have Andrew show up this wonderful Tuesday morning.

Great episode! I've got a trailer similar to yours that I use to haul apples on. I was so surprised to see Levi! At first I thought that Cody was looking very mature for his age😉

This is just too good to believe. Never back down Andrew.

Andrew, I have an older brother, where he didn't teach stuff, I LEARNED things from him like music, only useless stuff. But U r that brother that has the time and willingness to teach the siblings, thank you for being that person.

Great video Andrew. I've never seen electronic trailer brakes before as I'm British. Very simplistic design and application. Love you Levi, never forgotten RIP 🐕

A nice way to start the day- with a repair and diagnostic video! Good timing too as I will be doing a brake repair or replacement job on my car trailer soon. I like how you test a vehicle on the jack stands by vigorously shaking it. That's how I check. Better to have something fall before you get under it! I once had a home shop but then things in life change. Watching your videos brings back good memories. Looking forward to more videos!

I have to admit a little shocked when Levi walked up. Much love to the greatest Quality Control inspector ever

I really enjoy watching your videos where you perform maintenance on the equipment. Calms my brain right down. Thanks again Andrew for the great videos!

Another good one Andrew. You beat the crap out of your equipment but do such a great job to keep them well maintained. Great to see Levi again!

Mixed emotions on this one but tells ya how much footage A has with the beloved Levi making an appearance. Thanks for the simple walkthrough of how the electric breaks work.

Nice to see the great Levi again miss him thanks from Boston

In Australia they work. With a “gain” control unit (brake controller) that feeds in voltage increase depending on load and road speed etc, you also have a manual control t9 combat high speed trailer sway, or if going off road. Nice to see Levi again 😍

It’s the same here. They have gain settings to compensate for the load and speed. They do have independent trailer brake control too. Now in North America many trucks have the option of factory installed integrated brake control. I’ve one which came from the factory.

Hi Andrew, I have an answer to your question of right and left reverse thread pitches. With us in France on old trailers the left and right threads were reversed because when driving the wheels do not turn in the same direction, so the nuts were self-tightening with movement on the road, so there was no risk of losing a wheel.Nathanaël from France, yours...
