installing a brake controller and hitch

I am all for DIY'n anything one feel capable of (most products like hitches and BC's come with great instructions that the average handy type easily handle), but I would recommend getting some first hand advice from others who purchased at the dealer in question, if possible. They are not all inept shysters. I knew ours had a good reputation (unlike most of the horror stories you read here). I also saw their display of hitch products and asked what they would recommend for us. They offered a good WDH and even discussed the right weight bars and all that so I let them set up everything. They where also decent enough that I got the a Reese Duel Cam and a basic timed-based controller installed as part of the cost of the TT. I knew going in the BC would likely be cheapo timed based unit, and it was. It worked, and I used it for a few trips before I took it out and swapped to a Prodigy P2 a few months later.
