Some Good News

Hey all - Installed my new brake controller last week & towed the tt this weekend and averaged right at 13 mpg. Best I ever got b4 was 11 mpg. Had a sneaky feeling old brake controller was not working properly and I guess this confirmed. The new Prodigy works great.

what made you suspect that the brake controller was the culprit?

Mike- Brakes and wheels on tt were always very hot and when I towed it seemed like the power was just not there. I should have checked voltage to the brakes but I just thought that was the best mileage I was going to get while towing. Any way as soon as we pulled out of the driveway this trip I felt like the truck had more power(less drag on the tt). The new controller (being proportional) doesnt do that jerky braking any more either.
