What kind of towing will you be doing? Not trying to start a war hear but when I worked at an rv dealership we tried like hell to get people to not buy those. Had many a problem with those brands. I like a Reese myself. Just don't get one you have to level. A simple one with a time delay and power adjustment will probly be good. Also take note of the kind of brakes you have. Some realy work better with others. Weird I know but that's how the ball bounces.
