Redarc brake controller

Hi Clint and Chell,

I have had a Redarc brake controller on my patrol for a few months and it worked well on our recent trip to Tassie.
I chose it because you can remotely mount the control knob in a spare switch space and don't have to have the unit hanging off the dash.

I've had excellent results from a Tekonsha Prodigy. I would unhesitatingly recommend it or its later versions to anyone.

Clint,

Like Kev, I chose the remote head Redarc controller due to limited mounting space and the controller works extremely well.

The controller itself is mounted high up under the dash (on the same bracket I used for the 2 way transceiver, also a remote head unit) and the adjusting knob and LED indicator mounted in two blanking switch plates on the dash.

As soon as the trailer is connected, a green LED will indicate correct connection and as the brake is applied the LED will turn red to indicate braking.

Very good controller and Australian made too.
Redarc provide a quick response too. When I bought my unit online, it arrived without the little stickers for the switch plate. A call to Redarc and new stickers arrived in the mail the next day.


Bill.

we had one installed in our new car this year after having a tekonsha in the previous car, mostly for the issue of where to mount the tekonsha.

we did a bit of research and there were a few people saying they werent much chop. in the end we called redarc and they went out of their way to discuss the poor reviews we had read about online.

in the end we installed the redarc and have been really happy with it so far. its only been a few months but so far so good.

for their service alone I would reccomend their products.

C & C,
my mechanic recommended a Redarc. Works fine for me. Happy.

You asked a few days ago about this and everyone suggested A Prodigy and I even explained the difference in how they worked.

Now you are looking at one that works exactly the same as the one you have.

Why change.

Why not take the good advice given.

Certainly wont make any improvement on a Voyager.

I had the Redarc fitted and have travelled all the way round our fine country and have only wished I had fitted it sooner.
Cheers

Thats fine Just couldnt quite understand that after getting the best advice you asked again.

Those who have the Redarc probably havent tried the far better prodigy.

Depending on what they are towing it may work well for them but as stated by me and others is no different to what you already have.

The mechanic was pushiing his barrow definitely as he didnt have what you want.

Look here for one and get it posted to you www.sidewinder.com.au.

Then get someone to fit it for you.

Only the same four wires as the Voyager.

If you are travelling get it sent to the PO where you will be in a week or so.

You will wish you had it done before you left.

Cheers & thanks again everyone
