I must say I'm a little confused about brake controllers in the RV world.
I'm just wondering if there some aspect of RV'n that makes the controller more critical than in all other towing with electric brakes? Weight ratios of vehicle / trailer maybe?? Axles loaded closer to their limits all the time?
Since it was part of the "deal", and I know I could change it easily, I let my RV dealer put in their "house brand" when they setup our TV. I didn't even ask, I just figured I'd see what they used. They put in a Reese brand controller and it seems to work fine, but I haven't gone too far with it yet.
