Question:
I have a 2001 Beaver Patriot 40’ Deseil pusher motor home w/air over hydraulic brakes. I need a brake controller to tow a double axel electric brake activated trailer. What do you recommend?

Hi Jack,
A proportional trailer brake controller is a great option for a motorhome with air brakes, as it will sense your rig slowing down and apply the amount of braking power needed, and it just requires your motorhome's brake lights to activate. The best of these, due to its bright display and continual diagnostic checks, is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
