Glad you are enjoying smoother braking.

Other than cost, I see no reason why time delay controllers are sold. I don't think they should be used on any large trailer.

I sold my previous trailer on consignment at a local dealership. It sold in less than a week. I got more, even after their percentage, than if I had sold it outright.

Rob, look at the AirSafe 25K hitch with the Holland head. Hensley TrailerSaver is also very good.

If you don't want an air ride type hitch, get a B&W.
