I have a voyager brake contoler and have been thinking of getting the P3 for my long 5week trip. My question is is it worth spending the money on a brake contorler when I have one that works, I really just dont like how it works with my new fiver.

I went to a prodigy after years of towing w/ a voyager. Night and day, the prodigy is smooth. I would expect the P3 is every bit as good with a little more braking options.

P3 is great, primarily because it's set it and forget it. They can be had for roughly $120 shipped.

I used a Voyager for years till a few months ago and switched to P3 and it is so much smoother. Love it. Worth the money.

I also had a Voyager and moved to the Prodigy...like everyone said, night and day difference! One of the best purchases I've made in RV gear! I believe the P3 is the same basic controller with updated ergonomics and the ability to control hydraulic brakes as well!

I had a Voyager, threw it in garbage after first trip. I LOVE my Prodigy. Difference is night and day.

Not alot of difference between the Prodigy and P3 Prodigy. The P3 displays errors in plain English. Either is a great upgrade over the Voyager.
