Brake Controller Installer Recommendation-2023 Limited

Any recommendations for a reputable installer in the Portland, OR area for the Redarc brake controller. I'd rather someone with experience take care of it rather than installing it myself. This one:

 

It is literally plug-n-play. I'm not a mechanic by any means, but I was able to put it in just fine, took a few hours, but it works perfectly and I used it to tow a 20ft trailer all over the SW states last fall. The color instructions even show pictures of where things are and what to do. I think you should at least remove the kick plate and fish out the connector in order to see for yourself before paying someone to do it. The hardest part was figuring out where to mount the box under the dash and then zip-tying it tightly so it doesn't move.

 

I don't live in the area but Redarc has a "FIND AN INSTALLER OR RETAILER". This might help

It is an extremely easy install to do yourself. I did mine a few months ago.
One of the members (@pgfitzgerald) here makes a mounting plate for it that alleviates the issue NorrinRadd mentions above.

Here is a link to his Etsy page:

I agree with above, very straight forward, easy and clean install....

I don't mean to high jack the thread, but the conversation may be beneficial to the OP.

Just in from a 1500 miler, towing my #4500 trailer.
My trailer brakes seem very "grabby" with Redarc vs my old Prodigy.... Not at first application but once I slow to a stop, when I creep forward and reapply the brakes, they grab hard and fast.

I'm a light touch on the brakes and leave lots of room ahead, preferring to feather the brakes from slow to slower to stop.

What is your experience ?

 

Installers tend to slaughter wires with sketchy T-taps and splices. They get paid to move fast, not do it right. If you can do it yourself, do it yourself.

My Tekonsha does the same. I have not towed on the Redarc, but pretty much all proportionals work in a similar manner. It doesn't know wheel speed or pedal position, it just senses deceleration and brake=on and applies proportionally to those two signals. Mine is set up to have a relatively high initial brake and then ramps up from there with deceleration, which is vital when rolling at highway speed but it gets very annoying in stop/go traffic. That's partially what the dial is for - if I get in creeping traffic I'll lower the response a little, which helps mitigate the hard grab behavior.

 

I’ll second doing the install yourself, unless this type of project simply isn’t for you. I thought the hardest part was finding a secure place to put the control module. Industrial Velcro is your friend.

I’ve pulled over 5k miles with the Redarc Tow Pro and am very satisfied with its performance. Had a Liberty first but had problems with it.

Good luck with whatever decision you make.
