We have a 2021 T@B 320 S Boondock and are using the Curt Echo wireless brake controller. I am not new to towing but new to using an electric brake controller. At slow speeds (<25 MPH) when I apply the brakes, the trailer brakes apply fully. This lurches the TV forward. I was expecting a more smooth application of the…
It is amazing that anyone buys these Curt Echos given the consistent theme of grabby brakes, meandering settings and the black art skills required to make them work. There are so many other brake controller options that don't sport all of these issues. What is the attraction to the Echo?
Anyone have experience with the Echo under dash version? This one connects to the OEM provided brake controller plug (Honda in my case) rather than the unit you plug into the 7 pin connector. Need a controller but don’t really want a mounted controller or drill holes for a knob. I don’t have an open button slot.
I don't have a T@B trailer, but have extensive issues to share about the Curt Echo brake controller. What I have learned is that this is a known issue with certain tow vehicles. It does not relate (in most cases) to the trailer. Nissan and Audi vehicles are especially at risk, I have a Nissan Frontier. Curt has denied that…
+1 for hard-wired brake controllers. We researched the echo but ruled it out as an option after seeing mixed reviews. We have a Redarc Liberty and have been really happy with it.
I had a similar issue with my 2020 Tab S last summer. The Echo brake controller and brakes worked fine for several hundred miles of towing then one day the trailer brakes started grabbing hard enough to lock up a wheel when applied. It took me awhile to figure out what the issue was and I suspected it was the brake…
That’s the sequence recommended by Kurt for the Echo, which has worked fine for me, no grabbing or over applied trailer brake issues either. That said, at some point I am going to install the new Jeep Gladiator OEM brake controller, which is similar to the Redarc Tow Pro/ cheers
We have the Echo brake controller and had the same problem until we did the following procedure and now it works great! Here is the procedure Note: we needed to decrease the max output Curt has a recommended setup procedure outlined for the Curt Echo part # C51180 that is outlined in their install instructions for this…
Yes, we have not had any issue with our Echo brake controller either, once we got it set up correctly, which was not difficult. I have heard good things about Autowbrake controller. And they are used by TAXA Habitats on their Cricket and Mantis trailers as OEM equipment, included with the trailer. Cheers
