There are several informative threads about this subject in the Towing forum. I had to ask the same type questions for mine. I wound up buying the Tekonsha Prodigy and am very happy with it so far. There are more expensive set-ups that might be better, like the Brakesmart, but for the money, it's a Prodigy for me.........
