Very cool! Was this the Plug N Play kit or did you hardwire everything?

I was wondering on how to adapt this kit and where to mount it. I sent Shorelandr' and email and they said... I could unhook the current actuator, plug the hole and use it as a coupler – then install your electric brake set up. Or… We have a non-brake swing tongue kit( part number 6952616) in which you would also need to purchase a coupler ( after market) that would fit and work with your electric over hydraulic brake kit.
It wasn't an "All-in-one" kit, but there's nothing that can't be reversed if you choose. The brake line connecters are the same for the reservoirs, just swap them, bleed them, and take care of the wiring. I pulled the old surge controller out of the tounge, but you wouldn't necessarily have to.

Excellent, thanks!

I’m in the process of adding the Hydrastar setup to my trailer. My surge actuator was blown so I ripped the guts out and have bolted the coupling housing to the frame. No more jolting back and forth!

It's some of the best money your will ever spend. I'm never going back.

I ran into a little snag - the brake line is leaking from the flared end. its on the backside of the nut on the side of the rubber hose before the compression. It squirt 6 ft away from me lol

Also just to confirm, which size do you have? I got the 1600PSI
