Read good things about the Prodigy P2 and P3.  I'll be towing a 20' camp trailer.  Anything else to consider?

Gold standard - can't go wrong.

Big ditto to this.

I bought one recently and it's fucking amazing.
Never knew the trailer was behind me.
Incredibly smooth.

Do you have an anti-sway bar on your hitch?  It saves a lot of effort trying to keep everything rolling straight down the road.  Especially when an 18 wheeler passes.

I use a old prodigy p2 for 9k equipment/backhoe or a 30ft travel trailer, its worked great for years.  I think the price difference is not much for the p3, the display looks nicer.  

2nd vote on the weight distributing hitch, especially if you are talking a half ton truck, it does make a difference.

This.  I almost wish my new truck didn't have an integrated brake  control so I could install one instead.

I'm using a Reese SC Weight distribution hitch with with sway control. One of the best investments I've made.

Only second to the decision to put an electric trailer jack on. Will save you time and sweat and your arm.

Just bought a P3 a few months ago.  I tow 20' flatbed and offroad single axle camper.

Works great, easy to setup. Stops are smoother and brakes come on faster and more controlled vs time-based unit. Boost mode is insane!
