I located mine to the right of the steering column and positioned it so I could see the readout through the steering wheel as I'm driving. I can also easily reach the control to apply emergency breaking power via the lever at the bottom of the unit if it ever became necessay. (See pictures)
This location doesn't hit my knee and I'm 6'1" with long legs. Even with the seat all the way up, which I'd never be driving in that position anyway, it still doesn't hit my knee.

Good info here. I have to head over to the local trailer place today. Prodigy is what a friend recommended. I assume the trailer place will also tell me if I need to get a drop for a car hauler.
