• Brake Controller and 6-Way Socket Installation in 2015 Honda CR-V
  The Bunkhouse trailer website does not provide wiring specs for their motorcycle-friendly camper trailers like their King LX Camper Base, nor does it indicate anything about these trailers having electric drum brakes. Usually a 6-way wiring set-up uses round connectors like the trailer-side plug # PK11604 and vehicle-side socket # PK11609. A trailer brake controller such as the Popular Prodigy P2 # 90885 can be installed in your 2015 CR-V by first installing a 4-pole wiring harness...

• Installing Hopkins Agility Brake Controller Part # HM47294 in 2005 Dodge Dakota with No Tow Package
  Hopkins does not offer a universal plug for the Agility Brake Controller. Your best bet would be to order the controller and harness combination you referenced, and cut off the vehicle end of the plug as you mentioned. The bare leads on the end of the harness would then be hardwired into the vehicle. We offer a Hardwired Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC7 for a 7-way trailer connector, or # ETBC6 for a 6-way. The install kit provides the adapter to convert a 4-pole connector to...

• Adding a 6-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2007 Ford Explorer with Factory 4-Way
  In order to install a brake controller and a 6-Way connector on a 2007 Ford Explorer that has a factory 4-Way you will need 2 items. First you will need the brake controller itself. I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885, because it is one of our best selling controllers because it is easy to use and set up. Then you will need installation kit # ETBC6. This kit is needed because all of the wiring is not ran to the back of an Explorer that has the 4-Way. I have included some links that will...

• Brake Controller Install on 1997 Chevrolet Pickup
  This is a fairly straightforward install. GM has already run some of the necessary wiring from the rear frame rail area to the engine compartment, so you will see a blue wire for the electric brake function, and an orange wire which provides 12 volt power for trailer accessories like a breakaway kit near the end of the driver side frame rail. The orange and blue wires at the rear of the truck would attach to the appropriate poles on the 7-way trailer connector on the rear bumper. You can...

• Is Brake Controller Install Kit, Part ETBC7 Needed to Install Brake Controller on 1998 Suburban?
  On your model year, in some instances GM ran a orange and blue wire from under the brake master cylinder to the rear of the vehicle, along the drivers side frame rail. If this wiring is in place, all of the rest of the connections must be wired into the vehicle. I usually recommend using the Brake Controller Installation Kit anyway. The kit includes the trailer connector, circuit breakers, hardware and wire. You most likely will not need all of the wire in the kit, but as a matter of convenience...

• Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2010 Toyota Sienna
  You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118304. Now to convert the 4-way to a round 6-way you would only need the part # 37175. If all you need is trailer light functions this would be all that you would need. If instead you need to control the brakes of your trailer you would need the # ETBC6 instead of the # 37175. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake...

• Connection of Blue Trailer Brake Control Wire on a 2001 Chevy Silverado.
  The blue wire is the brake feed wire for the trailer brakes.

From under the hood the blue wire with the connector that needs to be cut off is ran to the 6-Way or 7-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle and attached to the brake circuit in the connector.

• Installation of Tekonsha P-3 on 2005 GMC Envoy Denali

• Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Accessories for Towing 1961 Airstream w/ 2012 Subaru Outback
  According to my research, the 2012 Subaru Outback is rated for towing between 2700 and 3000 lbs, depending on how it's equipped.
