I changed my surge brakes to electric brakes last year, used them for a whole season, and could not be happier with them. The brake assemblies were very inexpensive and easy to install. It's nice to be able to control the braking and they are substantially more effective than the system they replaced. I love having trailer brakes that work while backing down the ramp, it's much safer on steep ramps. It's also nice that they don't automatically engage while I'm backing up a hill.
