If you need any further encouragement, I had a small number of memorable Adventures at the hands of the Tekonsha Voyager a decade+ ago. The Prodigy is much better and much safer, whether your tow vehicle is a Ford Pinto or a dump truck (the Pinto, if you could get it moving, might not be able to quickly generate enough deceleration to wake up the Voyager to activate the trailer brakes properly, and the dump truck on a long slow downhill grade would have the trailer overbraking until the trailer brakes burned out from trying to stop a dump truck).
