We bought one in early January and I'm very happy with it. Unit is much smaller than I expected and seems to be built well, not bad looking either. Nothing to install other than the break-away wire. We are using it in our jeep behind our class c. Paid $995 from mfg for it, they matched a online vendors pricing. Any specific questions feel free to ask.

Seems to have plenty enough power, as soon as you plug it in there is a compressor that runs for I guess about 30 secs and builds up the pneumatic pressure to acuate the brakes. We are towing a 4 door Wrangler Rubicon that weighs in around 4400-4500 lbs loaded up and are pulling it behind our class c which is roughly 33 ft. The monitor works well, can change settings from it while on the fly and test the system while coasting at 30 mph under tow. If you have a bigger rig, they have a extended range antenna if that becomes an issue.
There are several settings from small car suv/med suv and full size truck and there are also sensitivity settings. You can set it to only brake in emergency stopping or have it assist in all stops.
I really don't have anything bad to say about it. Pleased so far, hopefully will continue to the job!

Was wondering what setting you set your RVi for your Jeep?
Been using the small suv setting with medium sensitivity. Working well so far, haven't noticed it brake when it isn't supposed to. I want it to assist with all stops not just panic braking.
