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 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.
I''d have to agree. I'm sure the P2/P3 are good controllers and seem to be the controllers of choice but that doesn't mean other controllers are junk. I run the Reese, mostly because it was in my truck when I got it, and it works fine. I have a 99 Ram2500 with a V10 pulling a 26' Wave trailer now. The trailer has a dry weight of 7100lbs and GVWR of 8600lbs and the Reese works fine running around the mountains of northern Arizona. So I'd vote for tring what you have now and see how you like it before swapping it out. JMHO.
