I just purchased a 2013 17ft Clipper travel trailer. What kind of electric brakes and sway bars should I get? Want to be safe but not spend a lot of money.

Trac rac, tow hitch, fog lights, tonneau cover, Texas Edition rims, custom console, weathertech floor mats.

Wouldn't the trailer already have brakes? Tekonsha brake controller seems to be pretty popular. I've had no issues with mine. Depending on the trailers GVWR you might not need sway bars or weight distributing hitch.

Both are Stock - built correct from the start.

Jump over to etrailer.com. It's a pretty good site for anything towing related. More than once I had questions and their tech service guys helped me out without selling me anything.
