Tekonsha Prodigy

Hi Zapper,
Best you do a bit more homework. The Prodigy is the best you can get. I have not seen or heard one bad report.
Your auto eleccy will be confusing the unit with the Sentinal. They had heaps of problems with this unit..replacing them all over the country.

Cheers,

Yep our prodigy was $280 about 2 years back (plus fitting) - you should do heaps better than that now. No problems at all with ours. Seems they have the capacity to control brakes from the smallest trailer to the very largest vans etc.... and in reverse too !... with 3 boost settings if you need them....... they were recommended as the best when we were doing homework.

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

PS they don't have an office in Perth, but their head office phone number is 02 9647 1164

Prodigy is the only way to go. Dead easy to setup, I love the instant boost buttons. Never heard of any complaints and I keep watch on several caravan forums. I have had a few others and will never change from the prodigy. Great stuff.

Yoyager has a lot of problems. Sentinal soso, prodgity excellent.
have used all three
Cheers

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.

I changed to a Prodigy before Xmas and really don't care what it costs as it is so much better than any other controller i used (I paid $325 fitted to a new Navarra - and it was worth every cent!)
