ok, this is all for a 01 Jetta, all from etrailer.com:

i am going to install a hitch (curt) and the the trailer wiring module and a prodigy brake controller (seems like the best device) for towing (pop-up camper with e brakes)

my question is, what pitfalls am i getting myself into?
before i start searching, all schematics are in bentley right?
any advice from people who have done it/would do it again but different please help!

thanks!
