Squidder, please don't take offense at this reply. I know it sounds flippant and smart a$$ed, but really it's not. As I see it, in answer to your question above about what are you missing... The answer is simple. ....Surge brakes.
It's the old KISS principal again. Keep It Simple Silly. Surge brakes are mechanical/hydraulic. No magnets to go bad, no wires to corrode, no tearing your hair out testing 7 different electrical connections, etc, etc. Just straight forward physics As long as you keep your brakes clean (Disk or Drum) and you check your brake lines and fluid about once a year they will reliably stop your trailer every time. Think about it. There's a reason that brakes on cars are hydraulic and not electric. They simply work. And really, after all is said and done, isn't that what you want?
