Brake controllers aren't all designed or installed in the same way. Your tow vehicle, what you're towing and how regularly you tow can all influence which type of controller is the most practical one to buy.
A permanently installed controller provides a dedicated solution that's always ready when your trailer is connected, while portable and wireless systems can offer greater flexibility when towing across more than one compatible vehicle.
Permanently installed in the tow vehicle, these controllers provide a dedicated braking setup whenever your caravan or trailer is connected. Many modern systems can be installed largely out of sight, leaving only the controls accessible to the driver.
The REDARC Tow-Pro Elite V3 uses a discreet dash-mounted control knob, while the Hayman Reese Guardian IQ provides a compact digital display. This style is well suited to vehicles used regularly for towing and drivers who prefer a controller integrated into the vehicle.
These systems provide an alternative to a conventional in-cabin installation and can offer greater flexibility between compatible towing setups.
The Elecbrakes EB2 mounts to the trailer and can be controlled using a smartphone, while the REDARC Tow-Pro Link uses a towbar-mounted controller with a portable remote head inside the vehicle. These systems can be particularly useful when flexibility between tow vehicles is important.
Brake controllers can differ considerably in how they respond and the features they provide. When comparing products, consider how braking force is applied as well as additional control features that may be useful for your towing setup.
Braking that responds to your vehicle
Proportional brake controllers adjust trailer braking in response to the braking of the tow vehicle, helping provide smoother, more controlled braking as driving conditions change.
Extra control when trailer sway occurs
Some brake controllers provide features that allow the trailer brakes to be applied independently of the tow vehicle to help bring trailer sway under control. Advanced systems such as the REDARC Tow-Pro Link also include dedicated trailer sway control technology.
Speedy Towbars stocks electric brake controllers from REDARC, Elecbrakes and Hayman Reese, giving you a choice of established braking systems with different approaches to installation and operation.
Rather than choosing on brand alone, consider how each system will work with your tow vehicle and the way you use it. Some controllers are designed as a permanent part of the vehicle, while others offer a more portable approach.
REDARC is a popular choice for drivers looking for a neatly integrated in-vehicle brake controller. The Tow-Pro range is designed to keep the main controller out of sight, leaving a compact control interface within easy reach of the driver.
For buyers who tow regularly with the same vehicle, this style of installation can provide a clean, permanent solution without a bulky controller mounted prominently inside the cabin.
Elecbrakes takes a different approach, with the controller mounted to the trailer rather than permanently installed inside the tow vehicle. This can provide greater flexibility for towing setups where portability between compatible vehicles is important.
It's worth comparing the way an Elecbrakes system operates with a conventional in-vehicle controller before deciding which arrangement best suits the way you tow.
Hayman Reese is a long-established name in Australian towing equipment and offers brake controller solutions for caravan and trailer applications.
For buyers already using Hayman Reese towing equipment, or those looking for a conventional brake controller setup, the available Hayman Reese products provide another option to compare with REDARC and portable systems.
A brake controller needs to suit more than just the trailer. The tow vehicle, trailer braking system, controller type and installation requirements should all be considered before ordering.
Check the controller's vehicle and electrical requirements, particularly with newer vehicles where towing and braking systems may require specific installation components.
Confirm that the controller is suitable for the braking system and configuration of the caravan, camper trailer or trailer you intend to tow.
Some controllers require permanent installation in the tow vehicle, while others use a portable, wireless or trailer-mounted arrangement. Check what's included with the product and what additional components may be required.
Not sure which controller to order? Contact the Speedy Towbars team and tell us about your vehicle and what you're towing.
Call 1300 773 339Whether you're towing a caravan for long-distance touring, a camper trailer for weekend trips or a braked trailer for work and recreation, the controller you choose needs to suit the way the combination is actually used.
Regular towing with one vehicle may favour a permanently installed controller that's always ready to go, while trailers used behind different compatible vehicles may benefit from a more flexible system. The products above include options for both types of towing setup.
Compare the specifications of each controller before ordering, or contact Speedy Towbars if you're unsure which option best matches your vehicle and trailer.
If you'd rather have your electric brake controller supplied and professionally installed, Speedy Towbars can help. Our fitting team installs electric brake controllers for a wide range of towing vehicles and can recommend an appropriate setup based on your vehicle and towing requirements.

It depends on your tow vehicle, what you're towing and how often you tow. If one vehicle does most of the towing, a permanently installed in-vehicle controller may be a convenient option. If the trailer is used behind different compatible vehicles, a portable or trailer-mounted system may offer greater flexibility. Compare the product specifications in the range above, or call us on 1300 773 339 if you'd like help narrowing it down.
An in-vehicle controller is permanently installed in the tow vehicle and is ready whenever a trailer is connected. Portable and wireless systems mount to the trailer or towbar and are operated by a smartphone or a remote head in the cabin, so they are easier to use across compatible setups.
Portable and trailer-mounted systems, such as the Elecbrakes EB2 and REDARC Tow-Pro Link, are designed with that flexibility in mind. Check the product's compatibility and what each vehicle needs before ordering.
