yes it seems they are only about $70 and the wiring seems simple enough. i will likely try to use something i already own to cut costs. this guy around me is renting a trailer out for $50/day so i might use that one in the interim

Modern controllers are easy to install as they use a pendulum and hall effect ( magnet ) sensor. You need one wire to the battery , one to the trailer brakes, one to the light bulb side of the brake light switch and one to ground. Also, the trailer must have a good ( 14 G min ) ground wire as everything electrical must feed through that wire.
