neschultz, I am intrigued by the Tekonsha RF. I have read, though, that there can be problems with lost connections. The Amazon reviews seem mostly favorable but with a significant number of pairing problems. It seems to substitute a radio-linked unit on the trailer for a hard-wired unit in the vehicle. What would you say is the advantage to that (other than not having to find a spot to mount the controller in the vehicle)? Have others of you had experience with this type of controller? How reliable is it?
I read about people having problems pairing. We had none. Advantages: doesn't take knee room or require holes in dash; no tapping into wiring required (tekonsha plugs into truck, TT plugs into tekonsha); my son can easily borrow the TT without needing to buy a brake controller; I put the remote about an inch away from the gearshift lever so you can easily push the button if you need to.......without taking your eyes off the road.....I always had to fumble to find the one mounted somewhere near my knees that I couldn't see. The only disadvantage I see is that you can forget to use the remote.
