Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Brake Control Location
Permalink  

It seems like the most common location for brake control units is to the right of the steering wheel and low. While I can still reach my brake control unit, it is difficult to see. Other than testing the emergency control lever, I not had to reach for it while towing.  However, due to currrent location, it may be a challenge.

Crazy me would like to install the control unit up higher such that I can easily see it while keeping one eye on the road and having access to emergency control lever without needing to bend over to reach for the bottom of the dash.

Is there anyh logical reason why I should not move the control unitl up higher on the dash? I have a Prodigy P3.

By the way, it operated flawlessly on the trip from OK to Corpus Christi. Even warned me when the 5th wheel cable came loose in the connector due to my error in not locking it down.

I believe the Prodigy controller has a max angle of 70 degrees and further up on the dash might increase it past that 70 degree mark. Not 100 percent on this so you should check your manual.
