I picked up a new 200 a year ago and the dealer fitted the Redarc - looked good and out of the way, especially helpful in the 200 which has limited spots under the dash. However I could never get the adjustment correct - either brakes not on at all or the wheels were cooking and locking up in slow traffic. After numerous discussions with the Jayco dealer and the car dealer Jayco admitted the Redarc are a problem with the Expanda. So I went to the Tekonsha P3 which Jayco recommended as working well - no issues since. Does Jayco put a list of approved controllers onits website? Anyone like to buy a slightly used Redarc?
Went with tekonsha primus iq as it fit in to the dash better. Drove 400 k with it on the weekend and it worked great.
We had the Tekonsha P3 fitted to our new landcruiser double cab. I recall the dealer wanting to put a redarc in, but all the research my hubby did convinced him to go with the Tekonsha instead of the redarc (even though the Tekonsha took up more room)
The red arc works fine for me, I keep it down low and crank it up by hand when I need it. That's fine for 99% of the time, but its a bit of a worry if I don't have time to turn it up, I could run into trouble.. otherwise, I love how neat and inconspicuous the unit is.
I suffer from what my wife calls analysis paralysis. I spend so long analysing and researching I get myself all confused and do nothing until the last minute!
