Consumer Description
While traveling with a 5th wheel camper (Grand Design), that has solar panels the brake controller stops providing a connection to the trailer brakes. This is a know problem of the 2024 Chevrolets and so far there is not a fix that I know of. This is a big big safety issue because the trailer is heavy and hard to stop. The documentation from Chevrolet states the issue is once the battery charges and has a higher voltage than the truck battery it will surge the system and deactivate the braking system on the camper. This also hold true when the camper battery is too low, again the truck battery will surge the system and deactivate the braking system on the camper.
