Expert Reply:
Pretty much the only difference between the Engager breakaway systems # 20099 and # 20400 are the designs of the battery boxes. Both function the same and have the same features. Engager # 20400 is meant to be mounted to the side of the trailer frame whereas # 20099 is designed more from the top of a frame. But ultimately you could install them anywhere there is space so I wouldn't say one is better than the other for you trailer.
