looking to purchase an electric brake controller for my rodeo. Will be towing a camper trailer which haselectric brakes. The Redarc EBIAX has been recommended by local supplier as being simple and easy to use. Any one have knowledge of the Redarc?

Alan,
Don't know about the brake controller, but if it anything like their battery isolator you will have many years of problem free motoring. Log on to website
redarc
to find more. If still unsure, Email Anthony at Redarc, he will gladly answer any questions
Regards
Rolande

Alan,
they are all easy to use, you put your foot on the break as is the usual practice.
Back to the Electronic Brake Controller, have a look at the "Hayes Wheels" brand of electronic brake controller.
5 year warranty, work both forward and also reverse, with greater effort applied to the trailer wheels when going down
hill and less going up
hill, and all adjustments fully adjustable from the front
seat.

Don't know about the Redarc but I have used the Tekonsha Voyager for years without problems. Am about to upgrade to the Prodigy which is a simpler controller

I think you can count yourself lucky that you have a problem free Voyager. I went through two and when I sent the last one back the caravan agent had given then the flick and sent me a Hayes Energiser 111 in its place.

Had trouble with my Tekonsha Voyager and was told that they have some faults... told to return to place of purchase & a new Prodigy would be supplied... I believe that the Voyager was recalled world wide except Australia ( Yanks don't know we are here) as a safety matter.

The Prodigy is a good unit by all accounts. Bought one at trade for $128 last week...about $20 off RRP. Comprehensive instructions and some good features including detachable wiring loom. Can be mounted on a tilt as well without stuffing up the operation of the pendulum. Very happy with purchase. Cheers
