Control apparatus for a vehicle, in particular a trailer, comprises a braking ECU having discretely programmable storage means to carry operating data for one or more auxiliary functions of the vehicle and a lateral acceleration sensor adapted to detect lateral acceleration of the vehicle body. The output of the sensor is transmitted to the braking ECU which is adapted to determine a tilt angle alpha from the output of the lateral acceleration sensor. When the tilt angle exceeds a predetermined value, the braking ECU generates a signal indicating that the predetermined value has been exceeded. Preferably a warning is given to the operator. The trailer preferably has a raisable body 201 by a hydraulic actuator 202 to discharge its cargo at its rear 204. Stability of the trailer when discharging can be partially achieved by stabilizer legs 203.
