Installing Trailer Brake Controller on 2008 Jayco Seneca with Chevrolet Kodiak Chassis
There is not a direct trailer brake controller plug-in for your 2008 Jayco Seneca with a Chevrolet Kodiak chassis. If you already have a functional 7-way connector at the rear of your RV, to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885, which I highly recommend, you will need to first locate the stoplight switch under the dash using a circuit tester like # PTW2993.

Location of Tow Package Wiring for Installing Brake Controller on 2008 Chevy Kodiak
The tow package on your Kodiak is most likely wired like the 1500,2500 and 3500 series. Take a look above the emergency brake pedal.

Recommendations to Prevent Sway on 2006 Jayco Seneca Motorhome
One way to fix sway problems on a motor home is to brace the rear axle, to eliminate excessive axle side movement. The Roadmaster, # RM-1109-157, and similar products, mount between the rear axle and the chassis and hold the axle in place. This will greatly reduce rear end sway.

Installing Brake Controller On 2008 Chevrolet Kodiak Motorhome
There is no plug-in brake controller wiring harness available for your 2008 Kodiak, so it will have to be hardwired.

The blue wire from the brake controller will then be connected to the pin on the...
