I have included some links that will explain the ETBC7 installation for you. And finally...

• Parts Needed to Install Trailer Brake Controller in 2006 Ford Van with Factory 4-Pole Wiring
• To install a trailer brake controller in a Ford van that has only 4-pole trailer wiring you will need the controller's brand-specific mating wiring adapter, such as part # 3035-P for a Tekonsha unit like the Prodigy P3 # 90195. You will also need a 7-way adapter # 37185 to convert the 4-pole setup to the required 7-way format. You will also need 10-gauge brake wire # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) to connect the blue output wire at the back of the controller with the brake circuit on the 7-way.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 1999 Ford Van E450
• When it comes to installing a front mount hitch on your 1999 Ford E450 Chassis I recommend The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 with 7" tall mounting brackets. You may have to modify it a tad but if your frame is wider that 44 inches there will be no problem. I do recommend having a qualified welder weld the hitch to the frame of the vehicle to make sure it is structurally sound, and use the input and the ratings of the vehicle to determine the maximum tongue weight rating...

• Recommended Weight Distribution System for V-Nose Trailer
• The issue with adding a weight distribution system to your trailer is that there isn't a lot of room for installation due to the V-nose. But I may have a solution for you. To choose the properly rated system you need to find your total tongue weight. That is the tongue weight of the loaded and ready to tow trailer added to the weight stored behind your van's rear axle. Once you have that figure you'll also need to measure your trailer's tongue to find out how much space you have for...

• Which Hitch Will Fit a 2004 E-350 Cab and Chassis with 14 Foot Box Truck Body
• For a 2004 Ford E-350 Cab and Chassis the Draw-Tite # 41906 is a custom fit, but you will need to make sure that the bolt holes are 38-5/8 inches from frame to frame in order for it to fit your particular model. While this hitch is a custom fit for the E-350 cab and chassis, it's possible that your box truck body may not have that hole spacing on the frame so you will want to confirm this. I've linked an installation video that can be used as a rough guide, since we don't have any videos...

• Parts Needed to Install Redarc RED44FR Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller on 1999 Ford E250
• From what you describe, you're in pretty good shape so far. I'd usually recommend going with a # 5506 wiring kit, which provides all the necessary wire, hardware and circuit breakers to complete the installation, but it sounds like you have most of the wiring in place. If you already have wire on hand to make the power and ground connections from the controller to the vehicle battery and to connect to the cold side of the brake switch, you can simply purchase the 30A # 38630 breaker to...

• Parts Needed To Add a 7-Way To a 1999 Ford E-350 15 Passenger Van With Factory 4-Way
• I have a couple options as we do not have a 7-way that will connect to your factory connectors on your 1999 Ford E-350 15 passenger van. First if you can identify the wiring for the charge line and brake controller line you will be able to connect the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672 to your current 4-way and wire in the connections for the brake controller line, charge line and reverse circuit. If you are unable to identify the additional wiring or they are not working the Universal...

• What is the Hose Diameter on a Ford 4R100 Transmission on a 2001 Ford E-450 Van
• Your 2001 Ford E-450 van should be equipped with a 4R100 transmission that was used on the E-series vans with the 7.3 liter engine. This transmission did use the 3/8 inch diameter hose so using kit # D13022 is the one that you would use. The kit comes with 3/8 line and NPT hose barb but it also comes with an Insta-dapt radiator adapter for 5/16 inch lines that you would not use.

• What do I need to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2003 Ford E-350 Van
• Since you already have a 4-way trailer connector at the rear of your 2003 Ford E-350 use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to a 7-way. Everything you need is included except for the brake controller itself. Is the 4-way a factory connector? If so, there will be another connector under the dashboard to plug in a brake controller. If you have that connector then you can plug in an adatper, part # 3035-P, with a Tekonsha controller, like the Prodigy P3 # 90195. You still need to run a wire...

This Heavy-Duty Stainless steel system has a direct bolt on application, which requires no welding or drilling.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Ford Van
• The only wiring kits available for your 2007 Ford van that don't require splicing are universal magnetic lights like the Optronics, part # TL21RK. These plug into the RV's 4-way trailer connector and completely bypass the van's wiring. It sounds like you already have what you need to connect the van to the RV. However, from my research it sounds like you may also need a drive shaft coupling disconnect in order for the van to be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. I recommend checking...

• Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller On 2009 Ford Van w/ Factory 4-Pole Trailer Connector
• Given you description, I'm guessing your van was originally equipped with the factory 4-pole trailer connector that provides lighting functions only. You'll begin by choosing a brake controller. You can't go wrong with the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. You'll also need the # 3034-P brake controller wiring adapter. The adapter plugs in to the connector located behind the small change pocket in the dash, but the brake output circuit is NOT ran to the rear of the vehicle, so you'll need...

• Parts Needed to Install a 7-way on a 2006 Ford E-150
• The Multi-Tow 7-Way & 4 Pole Trailer Connector # 74682 that you referenced is designed as a replacement for a 2006 Ford E-150 with a tow package that has the OEM harness. You might look under the rear end of your vehicle to see if you can find the round socket. If you do not have a factory 7-way already you should not find one unfortunately. If you have no trailer wiring connectors at the rear of your vehicle I would recommend you start with a Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness #...

• Parts Needed to Add 7-Way and Brake Controller to a 1998 Ford E-350 with Factory 4-Way
• To get a 7-Way and brake controller installed on your 1998 Ford E-350 you'll need a 7-Way connector and some additional 10 gauge wire so you can connect all of it to the pre-existing wiring at the back of your van. Here are the parts I recommend picking up to accomplish this: - Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185 - 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 - Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller # C51140 - Curt Custom Wiring Adapter # C51322

• Brake Controller Wiring Harness for 2014 Ford Van
• The correct Brake Controller Wiring Harness for the 2014 Ford E350 would be the Tekonsha # 3034-P. If the van has the facotry 7-way, the install is plug and play. If the Van doesn't have a factory trailer connector, the plug under the dash won't be present and you'd need to hardwire the controller using the # ETBC7 brake controller install kit and a # 118551 wiring harness. I've linked you to an install video.

• Parts Needed to Connect Portable Propane Tank to Motorhome for Auxiliary Source
• You need to Tee into your propane line before the regulator, like you mentioned and connect a portable DOT tank in there. Part # 103538-MBS is a tee that fits between your built in ASME tank and your current regulator and it has 2 quick disconnect fittings on it. The included hose connects a DOT tank to one of those quick disconnect fittings so you can run off that tank instead of your built in tank. This keeps you from needing to pack up your motorhome and go somewhere just to fill up...

• Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2012 Ford E-350 Van
• f your 2012 Ford E-350 van does not have a trailer connector at all you will first need to install a 4-Way, # 118551, before you can install a 7-Way. Next you will need an 4 and 7 Way installation kit # ETBC7. This will provide the 7-Way and all of the wiring needed to make it functional and add a brake controller if needed. For a brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular controllers because it is reliable, easy to set up, and easy to sue. I have...

• Parts Needed to Add a Trailer Brake Controller to a 2011 Ford E-350
• The power used by a trailer wiring harness like # 118551 only powers the trailer lights and will not have any affect on a brake controller or the 7-Way nor will either of those items affect the 118551. Since the 4-Way only has the lighting functions, when you hardwire the 7-Way you will need to run additional wires for the remaining functions. I have included a link to our wiring FAQ article with diagrams of various trailer connectors that you can use when hardwiring in the 7-Way. I...
