An "SMI Smartbox G-force Controller II" is a device used when towing an RV trailer, which utilizes a G-force sensor to automatically apply the trailer brakes proportionally to the braking force applied to the towing vehicle, essentially providing vacuum-assisted braking on the trailer through a pneumatic system, ensuring smoother and safer towing, especially during sudden stops.
Key points about the SMI Smartbox G-force Controller II:
Function:
It senses the G-forces acting on the towing vehicle during braking and uses this information to activate the trailer brakes at the appropriate level, providing better control and stability.
Vacuum Assisted Braking:
This system uses a vacuum pump to apply the trailer brakes, ensuring consistent and reliable braking power.
G-force Sensor:
The key component is a G-force sensor that detects the deceleration of the towing vehicle, triggering the brake application on the trailer.
Benefits:
Improved towing safety by preventing trailer sway and jackknifing
Smoother braking experience for both the towing vehicle and trailer
Reduced wear and tear on trailer brakes due to proportional braking
