Choosing a Brake Controller for a Motorhome
Question:
I need to install a brake module on my 29 class C motorhome and was hoping you could recommend a good quality unit for me. There appears to be many brands and I hope to get the right one first and do any experimenting. Thanks

If you are looking for a quality controller that is easy to use and set up, you cannot go wrong with the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part number 90885. The P2 is a proportional controller that applies braking force to the trailer to match the rate at which the vehicle is stopping. The P2 offers adjustable boost settings, which allow you to match braking performance to several different trailers. The P2 also offers an integrated diagnostic system that continually checks for shorts and trailer connection problems. I will provide a link the the P2 below, as well as a link to our Brake Controller Installation Guide that will walk you through the install process.
For your convenience, I will also provide a link to the installation instructions and operation manual for the P2.
