What trailer brake controller are you guys using? Is there a wireless unit that doesn't mean you have to run wires the full length?

I use a Tekonsha Prodigy RF brake controller. The main part mounts on the trailer and the 7 pin cable from the trailer plugs into it, then the 7 pin cable from the Tekonsha plugs into your motorhome. When you use it there is a small unit that you plug into your cigarette lighter. It also has a breakaway system built-in. The added benefit is that you can tow the trailer with any vehicle that is capable of pulling the trailer, just take the remote and use it in that vehicle.
I have used this for the past 10 years on multiple vehicles. Not a cheap unit but if you tow with multiple vehicles it saves from installing brake controllers in all of them.
