What this service covers
Predictable Trailer Braking Starts at the Controller
A brake controller must be compatible with the tow vehicle and trailer brake system. We identify factory tow-package provisions when available, install the approved controller or adapter and verify the power, ground, brake signal and trailer-output circuit.
Final gain and boost settings depend on the loaded trailer, road conditions and controller instructions. The driver remains responsible for testing and adjusting the system safely before travel.
Service-area context
Hillsboro is the I-35 and Highway 22 junction between DFW, Lake Whitney and Waco.
Scope notes
- A controller cannot correct worn trailer brakes, bad magnets or damaged trailer wiring
- Road testing and final adjustment must be performed safely with the actual trailer load

Questions
Trailer Brake Controller Installation FAQs
These answers set expectations before scheduling. The RV, installation, damage and access still determine the final work plan.
Which type of controller should I use?
That depends on vehicle compatibility, towing frequency and trailer brakes. Proportional controllers are common for smoother response.
Can you add a 7-way plug too?
Yes, when the vehicle and wiring scope are confirmed.
Why does the controller show no trailer?
Connector corrosion, grounds, damaged wiring, magnets or the vehicle interface can all cause that message.
