A few months ago I took possession of my first CT. It's a Central Coast Campertrailer (very pleased with it).

Back to topic, I have installed a TEKONSHA P3 for my electric brakes. I found it easy to install, very user friendly and work great.

G`day Pete
If you have a brake away system fitted to the trailer it will have a battery fitted and it will need to be charged. This battery is only used for the brake system so you can charge it from the aux pin in the trailer plug. you then fit the Anderson plug to charge your trailer battery.
You only need a brake away system if the trailer weights over 2 ton.
Hope this helps. Also check out Brake safe on the net as they make the system

You will also (by law)need a battery monitor for the brake away system. Its just an audible and visible alarm system which monitors your battery voltage in the trailer.

This only applies if your trailer is over 2 T
