GWM Tank 500 REDARC Brake Controller Installation | Completed at Our Strathfield Workshop

The GWM Tank 500 has quickly become one of Australia's most popular large SUVs for towing, offering impressive capability, comfort, and technology for caravan owners and touring enthusiasts. Recently, our team completed a professional installation of the REDARC Tow-Pro Elite EBRH-ACCV3 at our Strathfield workshop, preparing the vehicle for safe and confident towing.

For owners planning to tow a caravan, camper trailer, boat, horse float, or work trailer, fitting a quality electric brake controller is one of the most important upgrades you can make. While the Tank 500 is more than capable of handling towing duties, a properly installed brake controller ensures the trailer brakes operate smoothly and safely under all driving conditions.

Preparing the GWM Tank 500 for Towing

The owner of this Tank 500 recently purchased the vehicle and wanted a professional towing solution before taking delivery of a new caravan. After discussing the available options, the choice was clear — the REDARC Tow-Pro Elite EBRH-ACCV3.

The REDARC Tow-Pro Elite has become the benchmark for electric brake controllers in Australia thanks to its advanced braking technology, factory-style appearance, and proven reliability in demanding towing applications.

Unlike traditional trailer brake controllers that can clutter the driver's footwell, the REDARC system features a hidden main control unit with a discreet dash-mounted control knob, making it an ideal solution for modern vehicles such as the GWM Tank 500.

Why We Recommend the REDARC Tow-Pro Elite EBRH-ACCV3

When customers ask us which brake controller we trust for caravans and heavy trailers, the REDARC Tow-Pro Elite consistently sits at the top of the list.

Key features include:

• Proportional trailer braking for smooth operation
• User-controlled mode for off-road towing
• Compact hidden control module
• OEM-style dashboard control knob
• Electric and electric-over-hydraulic brake compatibility
• ADR compliant for Australian towing requirements
• Suitable for caravans, campers, boats, and commercial trailers

For a premium vehicle like the Tank 500, the clean factory-style integration offered by the REDARC system is a significant advantage.

Attention to Detail Makes the Difference

One of the areas we focus on most is installation quality. Brake controllers are a critical towing safety device, and shortcuts during installation can create issues down the track.

• Vehicle trim is reassembled perfectly
• The system is thoroughly tested before delivery

Whether you're towing a family caravan around Australia, launching a boat on weekends, or pulling a work trailer every day, a properly installed brake controller improves both safety and driving confidence.

Benefits include:

• Improved trailer control
• Smoother braking performance
• Better emergency braking response
• Reduced trailer sway
• Increased towing safety
• Compliance with Australian towing regulations

For many customers, fitting a REDARC brake controller is one of the first upgrades completed before collecting a new caravan.
