P3 ... when I bought my Airstream, I negotiated that the dealer throw in (and install) a brake controller.

I knew nothing about controllers, and had no which were good ones and which were just OK.

Dealer put in a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 ... now I know that's hot stuff!

Good for JD Sanders RV.

Now, what's this stuff about the P3 doing something when I'm going downhill? is that automatic, or something I should turn on?

The P2 or 3 is the minimum

State of the art is the TUSON Direclink.

Made it home towing the trailer and wanted to say thanks for all the recommendations for the P2-P3!

Install took me about 20 minutes with the aid of the you tubes.

I set power level to 5 which worked well on the highway, but had a bit too much bite with boost set to 2 in the city. I ended up backing it down to 4.5 which was perfect all around.

The accelerometer braking was great in sudden braking scenarios.
