There are two wires coming from the actual brakes on the travel trailer axle. One of the wires coming from the towing vehicle is blue.

Trouble with electric brakes on 1999 Dutchmen Lite travel trailer – (original owner) I went on one trip this summer and thought my brake control box was giving out intermittent signals (adjusted several times during the trip). Got back from our trip OK and have since repacked my wheel bearings (maintenance). Everything looks good. I took it for a test drive and one wheel on the camper is getting “hot” (driver rear). I adjusted the nut a few times and it still gets hot after short tows to test. I changed my 1999 installed brake control box in my 2007 truck, thinking that it may be failing because the light on the box would get dim, with one that has different indicating lights. One light (on the new brake control box) is indicating that there’s a short somewhere. Could this be the brake box on the camper itself or the rear brake or what else?

Additional: I just jacked the camper up, spun the wheels, then hit the brake and the wheels (all four)keep spinning. There’s a humming(buzzing) sound coming from the driver side (only) set of wheels on the camper when the brake is applied. The electrical from the truck tests fine.

I just bought a travel trailer through a private sale and although my tow vehicle came with the factory tow package, I was told I still need to get an electric brake controller, stabilizer bars and a friction brake. Can someone explain what these are and how they work. I know the basic function of the brake controller is to activate the trailers brakes but does it just connect to the wiring or does it somehow connect to the pedal? ***Attention veteran RV’rs. Have no fear. I plan on having these things professionally installed and will give the public plenty of notice before my dumb *** gets on the open road.****
