Looks interesting as the key isn't a traditional tumbler and might be harder to pick; the pin is straight which @TeCKis300 mentioned was desirable.
I’m probably going to get flamed because of the “I hate money” cost of this one but I got a good deal when I bought a ton of stuff from them a couple years ago and they sold me a couple of them with matching keys. There room in my Dissent bumper to get the key in there and rotation isn’t a factor because it’s round and straight and doesn’t interfere with the chains. The dust cover stays on as well.

Perpendicular aspect solves the issues created by the "box" on either side of the receiver. Straight pin too.
Im not sure why it failed. I had hooked up the cable to test the brakes before a trip in the new trailer and pulled ahead before unplugging. The contacts got a little “squished” and i had to re-spread a few of them. I may have shorted out something but no fuses blew. I did have a fairly long term problem previously with the brake wiring in the axle tube shorting out but the brakes have been just fine for a year or two after remediation. I was worried that a accumulative activation of the “short circuit” circuitry may have, somehow, weakened the controller so I was leaning toward the controller being the issue. Because the controller doesn’t send voltage on a short it is hard to troubleshoot so after physically checking out the trailer wiring I plugged into the other trailer and found the same result. I took a chance and ordered a new P3 and it solved the issue. As an old school kinda guy I am constantly impressed with the operation of the P3 and the new version hasn’t disappointed me. And it plugged in to the same harness and uses the same hanger. Win win.
I have 2723 in rear. 2021. Bp51@ 2”. LRA 24 gallon. Dissent rear bumper and tire carrier. Goose Gear dual drawer/floor system all the time. I occasionally tow a small XV2 Trailer but have towed a 20’ deck over. The springs are perfect ride quality for the constant load and stepping when towing. 43k miles at this point. I did play with BP51 settings in the rear to dial in the compression to get the right feel, which is of course somewhat subjective.
I’ve pretty much accepted that the move from my current 2722’s to 2723’s is inevitable. Just today I took a page out of @linuxgod book and made a spreadsheet measuring each corner height at various loads and airbag pressures in an attempt to convince myself that the 2722’s are enough…. They just fall short. Honestly, the move will likely mean that my airbag pressures get cut in half when towing.
I adjusted my rear BP51’s with the supplied spanners early on. The wheels were left on. I did it on a Starbucks parking lot as the initial stock ride was too floating like and I had more body roll than I wanted for on road. I have not changed them since. And yes I have driven across the nation 2 times and done LCDC Offroad several times with a wonderful to the point of not having to think about it, as the rig and I melt into one. (Sounds weird, but I just get to drive her and the suspension is not a factor of thought.)
100% my decision process on this one. I’m ahead of the game right now and cruising, instead of rushing, into departure so no need to add anything to the mix.
This has the potential of being a luxurious inside the garage type of thing… I’ll find out tomorrow.
That explains most of my nightmares
Thanks, that’s high praise in the company kept in this forum.
Funny I was planning a Moab area trip this year too. But I think we are going to Maine instead
We talked about Maine just yesterday. Looking at the map the drive from Georgia up through all those massive cities with our camper sounds daunting. That may be a road trip for the manly van (our Toyota Sienna) instead. There’s so many great spots in the US, we’re so blessed.
