Introduce yourself

This is my first post, we’re a family of 6 from MA. We just picked up our 2018 182G yesterday from the original owner, we’re so excited to become part of the R-Pod community!   We’re downsizing from a bigger 6000 lb travel trailer. We chose this because of the outdoor kitchen and it has enough sleeping space for my wife, myself and the four young kids. I already like how much lighter and easier this is to tow, long road trips will be much more accessible. The original owner added some great custom storage as well. Now we just need the campgrounds to open back up so we can get out there!

My Tekonsha pod brake controller is dirt simple:

There isn’t a physical pendulum. Those went the way of the dodo bird. The P2 and P3 both have solid state accelerometers like your smart phone, as I’m sure all modern proportional brake controllers do. Much cheaper and better.

As to the P2 vs P3, I don’t find the P2 display difficult to interpret, very simple actually. I’ll save my pennies when I can.

I believe the P3 can't be knocked out of alignment. I was told it works on a pendulum and can be at any angle front to back. Of course it must not be mounted side ways which would disable the pendulum.
