Cheapest place to buy trailer brake controller?
Who knows where the cheapest place in Ontario is to buy a trailer brake controller? I don't need much, just something for when I pull the car trailer behind my 79 - don't really care for trying to stop more than double my truck's weight with just the truck brakes - have to plan route quite carefully.
I've been looking at the Reese/Drawtite Activator series. Any suggestions? Princess Auto has one for $87 - is it the Activator I or II?
I'll also consider used....

They were $150 at Canadian Tire. Less than a year ago, they were $135 at CT (I've looked at them a couple times.) I thought our high dollar was supposed to mean cheaper imported goods???!!!
General consensus on towing forums seems to be to use the Tekonsha Prodigy. Know where to get one of those cheap?

I have a prodigy in my Suburban and I think next to Tow Command it is the next best brake controller out there. Before that I used an activator II. It also worked very well for the price.
