Timed vs inertia brake controllers
Our TV has a Reese sumthin sumthin timed brake controller, for use on up to 4 axle trailers. Are we destined to crash and burn due to not having the other style?

thanks for the info BenK -
I agree "price" is way down the list of "concerns" when it comes to brakes.
Do you ever tow on icy roads? I am wondering how the P3 controller causing the trailer brakes to "lead" the tow vehicle functions in slippery conditions? Or is this feature adjustable?
- how does the unit modulate the trailer on long downgrades where you need or want to ride the brakes at a low application? When I engage my retarder brake will the inertia sensor want to add trailer brake when I don't want to, because the tow vehicle retarder is slowing the unit?
- moving from one vehicle to another is not a feature I need.
- stand alone not connected to the TV brake hydraulics is good in case of failure.
