[QUOTE="mac5005, post: 492650, member: 4650"] We run the tekonsha primus controller that seem to work great. In total we have 4 of them and all operate identical to each other. A roller for the total Brake voltage, a button for levels of how quick the controller gets to that voltage and the emergency slider button. Only time we have had trouble with one is when the trailer plug was full of muddy water, and that's self explanatory. They aren't fancy and aren't too expensive, but still are inertia controlled. I set my total voltage depending on the trailer and load. Usually between 3.5-7v empty and 6-12v loaded. The boost button is nice for slow in traffic around towns and parking lots turn it off to keep from jerking. And then turn it to 1 for normal driving, 2 for highways and small hills and then 3 for the hills between gate city and harlan or fancy gap. Just be sure to mount the inertia style controllers according to the instructions. There is a range for the tilt up of the unit and a different range for the tilt side to side. [/QUOTE]
