Can Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller Fit 2000 Fleetwood Discovery Motorhome
Question:
I have a 2000 Fleetwood Discovery 36T Class A Motorhome towing a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland using a Demco Towing Assembly. My Motorhome is not confirmedinch for the installation of this product. My question is does that mean it will not work or just given the age of the vehicle, it cant be confirmed? The motorhome has been refitted, has new inverter and was converted from 30 amp to 50 amp last summer. If the team has had another customer try this and can confirm it wont work, I dont want to take the chance. However, if its just that it cant be confirmed, I am thinking it may work.

Expert Reply:
The Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 that you referenced basically will work on any vehicle with an active 7-way including motorhomes like your 2000 Fleetwood Discovery. Now with that said this is for activating the brakes of a trailer and not a towed vehicle. Supplemental braking is what you'd need to activate the brakes of your Jeep Grand Cherokee like with the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.
