Towed vehicles can be extremely heavy. Accordingly, it is too much of a burden to the braking system of a towing vehicle to not have brakes on the towed vehicle. Controlling the brakes of the towed vehicle must be accurately applied otherwise undesirable conditions can be created. There is a need for a method for controlling braking of a towed vehicle. This method comprises receiving a first signal via a communication bus of a towing vehicle, the first signal relating to at least one operating condition of at least one the towing vehicle and a towed vehicle, sending a second signal to brakes of the towed vehicle, the second signal based on said first signal.

Brake control unit

A positioner member having a spherically curved wall with an opening through it, a receiver having a surface complementary to the curved wall to nestably interfit with it, a releasable locking member disposed behind the curved wall, and an elongated connector member extending from the receiver through the opening in the curved wall and into engagement with the locking member to permit tightening and loosening of the positioner and receiver, whereby they may be moved relative to one another in a three-dimensionally orbital manner when the connector and locking element are loosened but immovably clamped when these two elements are tightened. The positioner member is attachable to a desired external support such as an automobile dashboard, and the receiver is attachable to a brake controller or other such device. The receiver may be integral with the brake controller, formed in or attached to a side thereof.
