I am towing a trailer safely and legally.

Australian Design Rule mandates that all trailers with a gross trailer mass over 2,000 kg should utilise a breakaway safety system on all wheels. The emergency braking system must also be capable of automatically activating should the trailer become detached from the tow vehicle. In such a situation the brakes must remain active for a minimum of 15 minutes.

TrailSafe Bluetooth Breakaway Switch is a highly effective breakaway safety system designed to activate the electric brakes of a trailer or a caravan in the event of a disconnection from the towing vehicle. TrailSafeBT takes convenience a step further by utilising the trailer’s house battery to power the brakes in a breakaway situation. This means maintaining a second battery in your camper throughout the year is no longer necessary.

TrailSafeBT also indicates the charge status of the house battery. It also checks the condition of the pull pin the and effective activation of the brakes. The activation is transmitted through a wire to a remote monitor and then by Bluetooth wireless to the optional TrailCheck.

If the towing vehicle separates from the trailer, a mechanical pull pin is removed from TrailSafe, thus detecting a disconnection. Upon disconnection, the brakes and brake lights are activated as long as the charge remains in the trailer battery or until the pin is replaced.
