trailer brakes from BB pt-40On some brake controllers the controller unit under
the dash is a kinda rheostat that uses inertia to regulate the braking force.
these controllers are enabled by the bus tail brake light throwing a switch
after the controller ( if you go down hill the controller feels inertia and
will signal trailer braking). I know of air over hydrolic brakes for trailers
which is like a surge unit on the trailer operated by airpress from the tow veh.
If there is a controller that uses air press as a force regulater for trailers ,
oder
me one. In California you need a battery on the trailer for the brakeaway safty
brake system. E brakes on a trailer do not react well with antilock tow brakes.
I disable the antilock when towing with a pickup.Gregory O'Connor94 pt40
