Standard fit to 2008 caravans onwards.. and 13 pin socket was developed at the time to get power through without melting as on 7 pins.
I don’t know it was available on trailers and caravans in the uk.
talking about the electronic braking system on trailers,
But if is available in uk , so every day is a learning day 👍🏻

I will bow to your greater knowledge as you were there and know exactly what happened. I mean you wouldn't look at a picture and just assume at what was going on.

Towing at 25mph in any vehicle,
Just try it and think to your self,
If I get tail wag will I loose my load,
Assuming facts were as stated it should have been obvious how out of balance the trailer was but we all hope to get home at the first attempt.
I've messed up on loading stuff and driven like granny until I got home and then breathed a sigh.
For reference 6 furrow ploughs are too long to travel on a 14ft trailer, even with the headstock over the headboard. You tend to run out of drawbar to turn with. ;)

Yes it puts the brakes on the caravan on even if the car isn't braking if it detects sway, has been known to over do it on winding mountain roads I am told.
I am not aware of it being fitted to normal trailers though, deemed less risk I suppose?
