Hi, I just relocated my brake controller; And the story goes like this. After working on cars and trucks in new car dealers since 1968, I have on many ocassion almost ripped my knee caps off while entering or exiting owners vehicles with those damn brake controllers mounted under the dash in horrific places. Many decades later, [Sept 2004] I am about to have my own vehicle with a brake controller somewhere on the dash. So I wanted mine mounted in a good safe place, for my leggs. On my Lincoln, there is a nice little pocket just to the right side of the driver's area, that I thought would be perfect. I asked my selling Airstream dealer to install the brake controller, that was coming with my trailer, in this place. They did and it was OK for many years, even though I later replaced the original Voyager with a new P-3. The P-3, unlike the Voyager, has numbers on display and now it was a bit difficult to see. After some long thought on relocating my brake controller, I bit the bullet and moved it into my center consul. Now it won't be obstructed by my steering wheel, but now the reach to the manual lever is sightly longer. Anyone else have pictures and a story about how and why you put your brake controller where it is?

The top left picture shows original brake controller location. The other three pictures show it's new location.
