Does the Unified Tow Brake Supplemental Braking System Require Brake Controller
Question:
1st, I am hearing impaired and would appreciate an email response to this ? Is the prodigy P2 Brake Control, already mounted in my Motorhome, compatible with the UTB-1000 D-Celerator Unified Tow Brake already mounted in my Honda CRV? If not, what products do you carry that would be compaible? Many thanks.

Expert Reply:
The P2 brake controller part # 90885 that you referenced is designed to operate the brakes of a trailer as it is being towed behind either a vehicle or motorhome. The Unified Tow Brake part number UTB-1000 is a tow bar braking system designed to operate the brakes of a towed vehicle. It does not require the use of a brake controller so you would not need the P2 unless you also plan to tow a trailer with the motorhome at some point.
