I have a 95' F350 dually paired with a 94 Fleetwood Wilderness 5'er 28 footer. Any suggestions on brake controllers and where to purchase it?
Hopefully locally, I am just south of Detroit.
Thanks, Mark

The link that Rollincool provided has the best price on Prodigy that I ever found.

That's not true, but it is an excellent value.

It's a very good controller for what it costs.

If you want the best, buy a BrakeSmart. But it will cost 3 times more than a Prodigy.

P3 is an upgrade from the Prodigy, but not near as costly as the Brakesmart. Do an internet search for prices ... probably around $125. I bought my new P3 for less than $100 on EBay.

I'm free of prostate cancer for 5 years now.
All men over age 50 should get an annual PSA blood test. Mine had a low reading, but the yearly jump was significant. The biopsy showed cancer just entering the aggressive stage. Dr. Hackenslash removed it.

I ordered my tenonsha prodigy monday and it is sheduled for delivery Friday. I paid $89 for it at RVwholesalers online( click here for rv whole salers). I also bought the custom harness so no wire splicing is involved during install. Its just plug in a use. VERY simple. The harness was $11. With shipping I paid $111.00 total.
