Anyone here install a brake controller in their vehicle that wasn't already wired for the 7-pin connector?
Favorite brand/design for the controller? (I think I will want a proportional type. Comments?)
Wire gauge back to the trailer connector? (10 or 12?)
[Trailer: single axle, Whitewater model 177. (Inside dimensions: 8 x 16) Gross Weight is around 3,500 to 3,800 lbs., but haven't had it on a scale.
Tow vehicle (for the time being): 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan with the factory tow package (4.0L V6, trans cooler, engine oil cooler, extra large radiator, air adjustable rear suspension, class III OEM hitch). It currently has only the 4-pin trailer harness installed.]
Other comments: Currently not planning to go far with this set up - 35 miles 1-way, all US highway, 2-lane, with 55 MPH speed limit. (I would drive slower - "Be a Leader!")
