    I have this same setup and just towed a 3500lb camper about 800 miles round trip. It performed flawlessly, the manual mode came in handy and not hitting my knee on a controller was wonderful

    It's great. It's hidden so it is not in the way when you're not towing and is easy to adjust.

    Towed a car hauler from MA to NC and back with no problems.

    Love to OE look from this one. I'm picking up a 3300lb dry weight pop up and need to add a controller. Found this picture and it look really good so was curious what your thought was. Ill probably pull the trigger on this one.

    Looks clean! I had a Prodigy controller in my 2nd gen. It and its bracket were always in the way.

    A home made bed topper/rack thing that actually works really well
    That tiny controller knob is really nice. I have a Tekonsha P2 in the cubby which works well for me. My truck has 3 pedals so putting it lower wasn't an option, not that I'd prefer it down there. I don't like how unprofessional the cubby option looks, but it does work well for a truck with a clutch pedal. Had I known about the little knob one I totally would have gone for that. That's awesome!

    I've towed both an open and enclosed car hauler using the Redarc. No issues at all. The controller is hidden behind the dash panel. Pics are above.
