Regular Caravan Electric Brakes Maintenance to Keepkeeps Your Caravan Safe And Fit for Driving

 

Law in Australia requires caravan and camper trailers weighing 750 Kg to 2000 Kg GTM (Gross Trailer Mass) to have a braking system on the wheels of at least one axle. Every caravan or trailer with 2001 Kg to 4500 Kg GTM must have a braking system on all wheels regardless of the number of axles.

Most caravans in Brisbane are fitted with electric brakes that are managed by an electronic controller to ensure that the caravan and the tow vehicle brake smoothly and evenly. Electric brake controllers can be either:

Proportional or inertia sensing: The controller uses an accelerometer that senses the rate of the tow vehicle’s deceleration. It sends an electrical signal to the caravan’s brake magnet to ensure that the caravan and the tow vehicle brake at the same rate.

Time-delayed or sold-state: The controller applies a fixed amount of power and can be easily adjusted from the driver’s seat.
