I have just bought a horse float with elec brakes and after reading the comments in archives was going to have a prodigy controller fitted. The local auto eleccy I rang said they had stopped fitting them as they had had too many problems with them and everywhere else i rang seemed to offer prices for fitting a voyager but not a prodigy. So does this sound right or should i just go ahead and fit a prodigy.
Also where is the cheapest place to buy a unit in
Perth, I have had some wildly varying quotes or should I buy one off Ebay
thanks guys....

Hi Zapper
Al's used a number of different electric brake controllers over the years [incl the voyager], but the one he has used for the past seveal years and reccommends to anyone who asks is called "Mini Maestro" Brake Controller, Model XLE 12, avail from Coast to Coast RV
Services.
The reason he likes this one so much is it is simple to use and set up, it's smaller, it's cheap [between $60 - $80], it's easy to instal and it does the job - we have used it towing, caravans, trailers, car trailers and camper trailers, absolutely no problems at all. [This unit was initially recommended to us by an auto electrician friend of ours].
cheers
Lyn
PS they don't have an office in
Perth, but their head office phone number is 02 9647 1164

Hey Zapper.
If you are fixated on the Prodigy the
check out the following URL:
http://www.camec.com.au/
Camec are the National distributors and if you ring the Queensland number the guy there will sell at his 'retail' price of $202 plus postage.
How do I know. I spoke to him last week about supplying one.
If you can get it cheaper then do so.
Just quote the following part Nos and you get any one of them seperate if you wish.
