Brake controller are made by  Tekonsha, Hayes, or Valleys, they do work proportionately to the applied brake pressure. Any Ase certified mechanic can install and usually have their favorite brand. Its important to have it installed by a competant mechanic as with today's electonics one does not want to attempt on their own. They are adjustable by the owner according to preferene and are really quite simple to operate.

Being a complete newbie to trailer camping I had a question about the R-pods brakes. If I apply the brakes in the car moderately do the trailer brakes go on full strength ? From what I have read about brake controllers is they will apply the brakes proportionately with how hard I apply the brakes.  Is this something I should consider buying since they are relatively cheap  or just see how it brakes first?  Which controllers would you recommend for my new baby?  Thanks in advance
