Subject: Re: air over electric brakes for a 5th wheel trailer



Ron, when I started pulling an electric brake gooseneck with our semi I looked, and looked, and looked, for something like that. No dice, as far as I could find. I think the problem is, you'd still need some kind of special wiring to power whatever conversion thingy you would have. I wound up putting a high end Tekonsha controller in the semi, and spitting the tailight wires to make it right on the semi, as well. I only have the one, though. The other option, would be to go with hydraulic brakes on the trailer, maybe you could tandem in both electric over hydraulic for pickups, and air over hydraulic for the road tractors. Both of those systems are pretty common.
