Location: Newport News, VA | I have just bought my first truck and horse trailer(see thread about Trailer Floor Repairs!). Now, I need to put in a brake controller. What is the best to buy? I really don't have a clue about these things and the more I look at stuff, the more confused I get. I have been looking at the Draw Tites and Tekonsha Voyager. Waht about some of the other brands? Are they as good? I looked at the Draw Tites, because I am familiar with the brand name and read somewhere that Tekonsha was really good. This is for a 2 horse trailer with no tack room. My truck already has the receiver hitch and wiring with the plug in under the dash for the controller(YES!). |

Location: North Salem, IN | The Prodigy brake control is the way to go. I have had several brake controlers in the past, and nothing even comes close to the way the Prodigy works!! PPL motorhomes in Houston, TX is the cheapest place I found t buy one. Check them out at www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-hitches/prodigy-brake-controllers.htm |

Location: sc | Most people will tell you the Prodigy is the way to go, I am of the same opinion. Here, http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/product.php?productid=60&cat=6&page=1 is the cheapest place, Ive used them several times. If you are interested in the latest and greatest the P3 is a newer "version" of the Prodigy. Although it is a little more expensive, it has more features. Ebay is the best place to get one new, http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=tekonsha+p3&category0= http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/forum/thread-view.asp?threadid=7204 http://www.tekonsha.com/p3.html |

Location: Mondovi, Wi 54755 | I heard there was a new Brake controller out by tekonsha. I have been using the Prodigy for a few years now and really like it, and does a bang up of a job for me. My question is, would there be any advantage to up grade to the P3, and would it do any better of a job than the Prodigy is doing? Thank you and have a Merry Christmas |
