Hey Ryan, sorry to hear about the issues you're having!
The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # TK52HR is the most reliable controller both in general and when it comes to electric-over-hydraulic actuators. You may have to take your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 to a GM dealer to have the system flashed in order to use this as opposed to your OEM controller, but this will work.
We also have the Adapter Module for BrakeRite # DX35FR and the Dexter BrakeRite SD Adapter # T4845900 which can be installed on their respective systems to make the actuator compatible with your Chevy OEM controller if you'd rather go that route instead.

I called your company and they are sending me a hydrastar hydraulic over electric actuator module. I have an older dexter actuator in the camper. 071-651-00 is the part number. Hopefully this will cure my problem. Let me know your thoughts, thanks.
