Recommended Brake Controller For Tandem Trailer with Electric Brakes
Question:
I have just bought a Mazda BT50 dual cab turbo diesel and will have bought a 21 foot dual axle caravan. Approximately 2600kgs fully laden. I am about to get tow bar and brakes fitted and dont know what electric brakes to fit, I have been told the P2 and the P3 are the way to go. I am a first time caravanners so I want to fit something that an idiot can operate, your feedback would be appreciated. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
I would recommend either the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885, or P3 part # 90195. Both are great brake controllers that can be used for electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes on trailers with 1 to 4 axles. These are two of our most popular brake controllers because they are easy to install or operate.
If there are other items you need for your system please let me know. Also, if you let me know what the year of your vehicle is I can make some recommendations for you.
I have attached a link to a helpful article about brake controllers you can check out.
