Hi everyone. Newie to the forum. Just doing a "what if" scenario for my family. Looking to purchase in the future a Coromal Excel pop top van which will weigh under 1600kg and tow with a Ford Territory with existing 1600kg towbar.
My 2 sons both have a Territory and BF wagons with similar towbars. I would like all of us to use the van but cannot justify each car being fitted with a Redarc brake controller. I contacted Redarc and they told me their controllers that are trailer mounted are mainly intended for farm work when many vehicles would tow the one trailer etc.
I then made an inquiry on Elecbrake and they have something suitable that is used in caravan hire companies and is used by controlling the device via bluetooth on smart phones held in cradles on the dashboard. All I would need to do is ensure each person has the App on their smartphone.
Does this seem doable and if not what would be the best alternative? Camplify use this controller on their rental fleets.
Thanks
Jeff
