electric brake controllers?

Followed this thread... I looked tonite; my Prodigy is the P2. It replaced a Tekonsha Sentinal.

It works much nicer. But, I don't tow very much; my 27' 5th wheel(no slides or anything) is only rated 7500lb max.

Actually, electricity does not flow at the speed of light. It's MUCH slower. It's more on the order of 8-9 centimeters PER HOUR.

Wire lengths DO matter, but only if you're working with differences in length that are significant. Over a 30' run of wire, a few feet of difference is not even measurable. As long as all of the wiring is the same gauge, and the lengths are all within 10-15% of each other, there is zero measurable difference in how quickly a brake will react.

True, but my point was that the length of wire (within a reasonable difference of 2-15 feet as could be seen in a trailer brake connection) will not make any appreciable difference of how fast the trailer brakes are applied (assuming that the wires are sized properly).
