The Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller part # C27JR as with most any electric trailer brake controller will draw a very small amount of power even when the vehicle is off so it can save all your settings. That said, the power draw is milliamps so even for a vehicle that is not daily driven there will be no issues with a dead battery. If you want, you can unplug it each time to kill power but that means you lose all your saved settings for the trailer. This is the case for nearly... view full answer...

I am sorry to hear that you are having some problems with your new truck. But yes, you can add an aftermarket brake controller without causing issues with the electronics in your truck.

If your rails are 42" long, you'll need a new kit, and you can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches... view full answer...
I spoke with Therma Heat, and they informed me that the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat # 277-000164 must be installed on the bottom of the tank and it must be stuck using the adhesive backing.
These pads are meant to be installed at the lowest point of the tank, closest to the drain, so installing them anywhere else would not be effective.
Additionally, while they did not inform me what the maximum thickness these pads can be installed to, they did let me... view full answer...
The Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional - Dash Mount # c51170 will flash blue on its control knob when the brakes are applied with no trailer or when it senses the trailer has been disconnected.
If you look at the video I linked you can see at the 2:10 mark he will put his foot on the brake pedal and the control knob will flash blue when he does.
I will also link a photo showing the meanings of all the LEDs and what they mean. It talks about the blue LEDs... view full answer...
