I have a 2002 Trailmaster that has 4 wheel disk surge brakes. Can I convert this to electric brakes by simply changing the acuator at the front of trailer tongue? If not, what would be involved?
BiXLL,<br /><br />To change over to straight electric-no. To change over to electric over hydraulic-most likely.<br /><br />I would suggest you talk to the folks at Champion Trailer.
What is wrong with the surge brakes??<br />You just don't like them??<br /><br />If you want electric brakes then you change the brakes on all wheels for electric brakes then run wiring,add a battery operated break away syatemplus install an electric brake controller on the tow vehicle.<br /><br />For electric over hydraulic you reuse brakes and change actuator plus install brake controller in tow vehicle.
I all ready had the controller in my truck from my camper. I like the feel of the electric brakes, and the ability to adjust their pull. I have decided that for all I tow the boat however, I will live with the 4 wheel disk surge.
