Re: [A/S] Brakes adn Hitches/controller mount



Most all the controllers I have seen are mounted low on the  dash and it is 
normally quite a reach to find the override switch in an  emergency One is so 
busy with the task at hand that hunting for the override  button is out of the 
question and than the next thing a person is prone to do is  lock up the 
breaks on the tow vehicle.In which things can go from bad to worse  in short order. 
I would personally prefer just a manual break controller  mounted on the 
wheel where it could be reached without having to move your  hands.
One thing that worries me is that anyone with no training or  instruction  
Can hook on to a 34 ft trailer and head out into the traffic  no idea how to 
cope with highway conditions.The only requirement is to have  enough cash or 
credit to make the purchase 
But what do I know???
