The worst thing about electric brakes is the controller, the least touch to either of the knobs and you either lose all your trailer brakes, or they will lock up and slide at the least application.
I had all 4 brakes relined and the drums turned on my 24 foot float, and for the first 1000 miles everything would work like a charm, I could stop everything with just the trailer brakes, then one brake on the front axle got to locking up at the least touch of the brakes, enough to leave long skid marks, the other side would act like it should, but the back axle didn't seem to contribute anything at all to the cause. The one wheel that locks up destroyed the tire, just about worn out anyhow, but what causes this. When everything works it will skid all 4 wheels, and when it is working properly, it will give just a slight tug when they are working in conjuction with the pickup brakes.
