which brake controller is most preffered
My truck dealership installed mine and it is a Towing Partner brand and can't seem to get adjusted properly. I followed directions by the book .

I owned a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 and towed a lot with it. The P2 is a great brake control, I never had any issues with it once I had it set up and dialed in when I first installed it.
When I sold my TT and my former TV, I removed the P2 and thought I kept it, however when I bought my Expy, I looked and couldn't find it! (LOL), so I bought a new P3 from RVWholesalers plus the cable to plug directly into my Expy's wiring harness. As others have said, plug and play.
It stayed in my Expy for about 3 years un-usused until I used it to bring home my Layton last month. Hooked up the 7-way plug from the trailer, the P3 instantly recognized a trailer was hooked up.
I didn't have time to read the instructions on how to set the P3 before leaving, however to this day the P3 has needed NO adjustments. It's set up directly OUT OF BOX and works PERFECTLY.
With both the P2 and P3, the truck and trailer brakes AS ONE, no jerking or anything like that. I like boost 1 on the p3 for just a hint of trailer lead breaking, but it's hardly noticeable.
Every time I have called Tekonsha they have been VERY helpful. I cannot say enough about these brake controllers. There are higher priced units out there, but I've often wondered how you could improve on the P3's performance. It's that good. (and I don't work for Tekonsha either!) :)
