Big newbie here 😉

Just got a Camper that weigth 2100 with trailer brake...

Didnt know much about that but I did plug it in my 7 pin thats already on the pilot.

All light work and everything but after a really short trip it did smell burnt tire...

Do I need a brake controller for my camper brakes?

Y’ve looked around but I aint sure...

Thanks :):)

I did trie to add photos but not sure it worked
