Expert Answers about Freightliner


  • Installing an Electric Brake Controller in a 2017 Nexus Ghost on an International Chassis
  • It's not likely your International has a factory connector for an electric brake controller adapter. But you can still install a Prodigy P3 # 90195 by hardwiring it into the RV. You will wire the P3 in by connecting the black wire to the positive side of the RV's battery, the white will need to be grounded which can be done to the negative side of the battery, the blue goes to the trailer connector at the back of the RV and red goes to the cold side of the stop light switch. The stop...

  • Brake Controller Installation with Existing 6-Way Trailer Connector
  • Yes, since you already have a 6-way trailer connector installed that has some of its connection made, just those for basic trailer lighting, you need only to make the two additional connections for the output circuit from a trailer brake controller and for the 12V trailer auxiliary power circuit. On a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 the blue output wire will need to be routed to the 6-way, to either the center pin or the pin at the 10:00 position. This depends on how your...

  • Wiring Adapter For Brake Controller On The 2006 Winnebago Journey
  • One of the best brake controllers we offer is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3, part # 90195, because it is so easy to install and operate. This will work with electric or electric over hydraulic brakes. Since the Winnebago Journey Motorhome is built on a 2006 Freightliner XC-Series Chassis, the # 3027-P harness is the correct harness to use. If your Winnebago Journey already has a 4 and 7-way trailer connection, one end of the custom adapter plugs into your vehicle, and the other end plugs into...

  • Hitch, Brake Controller & 7-Way for 2016 Freightliner Sprinter 2500
  • For the 144-inch-wheelbase 2016 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 with step bumper we offer the 2-inch Class III Curt hitch # 13358. This installs without drilling and it includes all required mounting hardware. Note this hitch will NOT fit frames that are 30-3/8-inches wide measured outside to outside.

  • Trailer Brake Controller Installation in 2001 Fleetwood Discovery to Tow Race Trailer
  • The first thing to do is check your Fleetwood owner's manual to confirm that your specific Discovery motorhome model has the towing capacity for your 34-foot triple axle race trailer. I was able to find a copy of the Fleetwood base manual online but it did not include a gross trailer weight (GTW) spec. Many motorhomes top out at a 5K tow rating so you definitely want to check with Fleetwood using your VIN. To install an electronic trailer brake controller in the MH you will need to access...

  • Parts Needed To Install A Brake Controller On A 2023 Freightliner Cascadia
  • You do have the option to utilize the air brakes on your 2023 Freightliner Cascadia to control electric trailer brakes using the Hayes Air Actuated Trailer Brake Controller, part # HA100400C. However, we mostly recommend just using an electric brake controller since they tie into the stop light switch of the tow vehicle, making it irrelevant what kind of brakes it has. For an electric brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. A very solid, user friendly brake controller....

  • Trailer Brake Controller Installation in RV Built on 2015 Freightliner Chasis
  • There are several different Freightliner chassis types used for RVs, such as the popular XC-series that is often used for Class A diesel motorhomes. This chassis can allow for plug-and-play installation of a trailer brake controller such as the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 so long as the RV has a factory tow package. In this case you will use wiring adapter part # 3027-P to connect the Primus to the under-dash port. This adapter also fits 2004 - 2015 Freightliner...

  • What is Needed to Change Factory Curt Brake Controller to Curt Spectrum on Renegade Valencia s2vr
  • If you already have a Curt brand brake controller, then the good news is all you will need to install the Curt Spectrum Brake Controller # C51170, is the brake controller. The chassis of your motorhome really doesn't matter at this point because all you need to do is unplug your current brake controller, plug in the main module and find a suitable location for the control knob. I'm not sure what year your motorhome is, but most Valencia's have some space just to the left of the driver...
