The video of the Tekonsha Prodigy mentions doing this http://www.caravansplus.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=153

Our situation is that our current vehicle may be replaced b4 a big trip next year, but we need a brake controller if we pick up a camper trailer e.g. Jayco Outback Swan- ~1170kg tare, towball wt: ~125kg.

Is it a matter of just wiring up the new car and securing the same controller?

Thanks

Yes,

You can get all the replacement wiring items etc from ABR.
I have wired up both of our vehicles and only have the one controller.

A separate cradle and loom is available, enabling quick and easy transfer of the controller

I would just like to confirm all you need is a replacement loom and cradle!

As said above you can buy both these parts.

Yes, it's not difficult. In fact, I we only have one or two brake controllers shared between our extended family but almost all the cars were wired up for them. In our case, we simply used a Narva 4-pin plug & socket.
