Brake Controller for 2019 Coachmen Leprechaun on Chevy Express Chassis With Factory 7-Way
Question:
I have a 2019 Leprechaun RV. It is on a 2018 Chevy Express frame. I need to install a brake controller. I will be towing a car dolly and car. What do you recommend. The RV has from the factory a 7 pin connector installed. Looking in the RV at the wiring I am unable to determine where the brake controller would will connect. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 for your 2019 Coachmen Leprechaun motorhome on a Chevy Express chassis. Since you have the factory 7-way, the wiring to connect a brake controller on your motorhome will have been run already, and the blue brake wire is going to be under the dash near the emergency brake pedal.
This wiring can be difficult to find sometimes so you may need to do some digging but it will be there, possibly tucked well up under the pedal. It is also possible the wiring connections are taped up and tucked under the driver side floor mat towards the firewall. The wiring is possibly labeled, but if not you can simply use use Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 to find the appropriate wires.
I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.
