My usual advice.
1. Read the brake controller tutorial in the Trail Manor Technical Library at the top of this forum. It is also called
TM Info You Won't Find Anywhere Else (hate that name). The tutorials will keep you from making bad mistakes.
2. Buy a controller that uses the word "inertial" or "proportional" in the description. There are many, but they cost a bit more than the cheapies.
3. I am kind of A.R. about this, I know, but I REALLY want a controller that will read out amps of brake current instead of volts of brake voltage. It is amps that run the brakes, not volts. And it is lack of amps that will tell you that something is wrong, while the volts reading will keep whistling merrily along. I currently have an otherwise-excellent Prodigy controller that reads volts only, and I am getting ready to sell it at a discount and buy a controller that will read amps. We had a discussion about this sometime back, at
http://www.trailmanorowners.com/foru...ad.php?t=11688.
4. Wayne, I loved my Jordan controller, and would buy another in a heartbeat. But it eventually died, and I discovered that Jordan is gone for good. Not reorganizing, but gone. Hence my Prodigy.
Raddad, welcome aboard, and welcome to TMing. I know you can make a good choice in this very important area.
