Hi All,

I'm about to head out for my first off road trip, towing a 1.8ton camp trailer, nothing to extreme and on terrain I have driven many times without the trailer.

I do use hill decent control on this track (not needed but I have the feature there and I like to use it).
I have a redarc tow pro elite V3 with the most recent wiring loom that picks up the brake signal at the trailer plug and uses the signal conditioning module.

While I'm going to find this out in a couple of days when I drive the track, what I would like to know is; when the hill decent control is actively applying the brakes on the car, will it also trigger the trailer brakes?

I will feedback when I learn what happens but if anyone knows I'd like to hear.

Cheers
