That's good news. Yes, we have 24 volts in semi-trucks, too. But cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, etc all have 12-volt electric systems. If your Trail Manor has normal US-installed electric brakes, all you will need is the trailer brake controller.

My suggestion. When you buy a brake controller, be sure it has the word "inertial" or "proportional" in the description. There are many available, but a good controller for a new user is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3. Very popular in the US, lots of people with experience you can draw from.

A thought for you. Some US vehicles have a built-in trailer brake controller. My 2014 Ford F-150 pickup truck has one. I don't know what model year your Aviator is, but be sure to check whether it has a built-in trailer brake controller.
