Top 7 Trailer Electronics and Monitoring Systems in Canada for 2025: Expert-Vetted Picks to Improve Safety, Compliance, and Animal Welfare

eRapta's ERT3 is the practical budget pick for simple backup and close-range monitoring of a horse trailer—the system is affordable, easy to install and widely available, making it ideal for owners who need a basic safety camera without extra bells and whistles. Financially it is the least expensive option on this list, though it trades off range, multi-camera support and some rugged features found in the Haloview and Voyager units.

SenseHub Horse Trailer Environmental System stands out for its modular mesh of small, battery-efficient sensors that give complete trailer coverage at a competitive price, making it an economical alternative to single high-end gateways. While it doesn’t offer TrailerHawk’s level of analytics, SenseHub’s lower upfront cost and easy expansion provide excellent technical value for owners who want comprehensive sensing without ongoing enterprise subscription fees.

GoFleet MyELD is the go-to option for horse transporters who must combine trailer tracking with electronic logging and driver/vehicle compliance; it pairs GPS telematics with certified ELD functionality to reduce regulatory risk. Compared to pure asset trackers in this list, MyELD’s financial advantage lies in lowering potential fines and administrative costs for commercial haulers by integrating hours-of-service and vehicle diagnostics, though that compliance capability may introduce higher setup and subscription fees. For mixed-use operations that alternate between private horse hauling and commercial contracts, it uniquely blends Horse Trailer Tracking and telematics with mandated fleet compliance features.

The EEZTire TPMS6 stands out for offering true 24/7 real-time cellular monitoring options and a cloud-enabled platform that is useful for horse owners who need remote alerts when parked at distant stables or events. Compared with the other products here, EEZTire leans into always-on connectivity and fleet-style reporting, which can be a financial win for multi-trailer operators who value remote diagnostics and centralized alert history. Its strength is continuous remote oversight rather than the lower-cost, on-board displays favored by some competitors.

The Draw-Tite Activator IV is a proportional brake controller that competes directly with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 by delivering smooth, vehicle-speed-sensing brake modulation at a typically more competitive price point. It earns its market-leader status for horse trailer applications by combining dependable proportional performance with a simplified interface and value pricing, making it a strong option for owners seeking Tekonsha-like control without the premium cost. For buyers balancing budget and safety, the Activator IV often represents the best compromise between technical capability and upfront expense.

The REDARC BCDC1225D Dual Input DC-DC charger is purpose-built for tow-vehicle-to-trailer charging and stands out in horse trailer applications by efficiently harvesting both alternator and solar inputs while providing battery-type-specific charging profiles for LiFePO4 packs. Its automotive-grade design and ability to keep batteries healthy during long towing periods make it a more practical and rugged DC charging solution than relying solely on inverter-based charging, and it is an excellent complement to either Battle Born’s or Renogy’s batteries for reliable on-the-road replenishment.
