Re: brake controller mounting

Mounted mine in front of my right knee...this way, I can reach it to manually active the trailer brakes if needed. I actually attached it to the lower dash panel. Good luck!

Re: brake controller mounting

I did mine on the left side, also on the lower dash panel.

Re: brake controller mounting

I didn't want mine being hit by my knees getting in our out. Since I only mount it when I hook up the trailer, I mounted it to the windshield with suction cups. This only works with the multi-directional brake controllers, but I have found it does an excellent job in this location and is out of the way.

Thumbs up Re: brake controller mounting

Great Idea on the Velcro! I am installing my Tekonsha this weekend and did not want to drill into my new RTL. Time to purchase some velcro.

Have you had any problems with the controller moving around too much?

Re: brake controller mounting

Be sure you get heavy duty velcro. The regular stuff wouldn't hold. I didn't know there was a difference but turns out there is.

I only mount mine when I'm towing but I haven't had any problems.

Good luck.

Re: brake controller mounting

I velcro'd mine on the lower right panel. I got the heavy duty velcro from Home Depot and seems to hold the controller just fine.

Re: brake controller mounting

This thread is useless without pictures...

This is something I'm hoping to tackle this summer, but I suppose I have to mount a hitch, first...
