I have a couple of these and I love them......but I do experience this problem:
As a disclaimer, every trailer brake controller I install is installed level. I never could understand how one was supposed to work correctly (especially the ones with pendulums) when they are pointed toward the sky. Thermal Instability of Voyager Brake Controller

The Tekonsha says it doesn't matter what orientation you mount it in. Mine is mounted at a pretty good angle and works great.

I just want to go ahead and throw in a vote for the Tekonsha P3. The diagnostic information that it provides is very useful in knowing if you have an electrical issue between the truck and the trailer. I love mine!

Me and my dad have been using the Journey HDs and they work just fine. They are also pretty cheap and can be found at any Tractor Supply Co.

You guys convinced me. I bought a Tekonsha P3 and used it on a camping trip last weekend. It was great! Very easy to set the braking force and now I don't have to worry about mechanical adjustment levers getting moved accidentally.

Got a trailer
So now that I am all graduated, I decided that it would be a great investment to buy a trailer... that way the air force pays me to move instead of me worrying about them breaking stuff as they move it for me... and I now need a trailer brake. I have found that at orieley and autozone they have ones for $60-$80, also the place I got the trailer from has one for $80. Amazon sells the p3 for about $150-$160, and other ones for cheaper. so with my new trailer, it is a dual axle 7000# max weight 7 foot tall 16x7 trailer with a v-nose, and with my future use of it (worst case, I use it to help people move, best case is I use it once every 3 years when the air force thinks I should change bases), is it worth getting the p3, or should I go for the voyager or the p2 or one of the other off name brands?
Thanks for all the replies!
