- Does Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty LED Only Flash When Trailer is Connected
- Good question, and a trailer does need to be connected in order for the LEDs to be on when using the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR.
If a trailer is not connected and you press the manual override of the Liberty # RED24FR, the LED will just flash blue, but go out again, which means the controller does have power.

- The brake controller port on a 2014 Thor Four Winds Motorhome should be located under the dash, usually near the emergency brake pedal. That said, they are generally taped to other wires on the main harness so it just takes some digging. We have not yet had a 2014 Thor Four Winds Motorhome in our shop to get a better idea of the exact location but I would say the above is true for about 95% of applications.
If you don't already have a brake controller in mind, I recommend the Tekonsha...

- On a Ford F-550 cab-and-chassis-based RV the brake controller connection port will be found behind a driver-side dash panel, as shown at the 2:08-minute mark in the linked video of an F-450 cab and chassis. I confirmed this location point with my contact at Tekonsha.
The connector you are looking for is a grey square one that will join with the mating end of harness # 3034-P. This harness allows connection of a Tekonsha controller like the P2 # 90885 or P3 # 90195, which will connect o...

- Yes, the # 3065-P connector will plug into the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Proportional Brake Controller # 90885. It will just plug into the back of the brake controller and the gray plug that you found and supply power to activate the trailer brakes, once the brake controller is properly mounted and setup.
Since your 2007 F-550 is pre-wired with a 7-Way trailer connector from the factory no additional wiring will be needed. I have provided a link to instructions for you to review.

- The plug that your Adapter, like part # 3034-P for the Prodigy P3 # 90195, could be in a few locations around your dash.
Start by looking under your driver side dash. A lot of times it will be near the Emergency Brake or tucked up under the dash. Also check the passenger side for the connector as well as behind your dashboard.
Another place that you can try checking is underneath your driver side seat.
Sometimes it can be a little tricky to locate the plug since it can vary by year/make/model...

- You can use your WFCO converter with the Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w/ Transfer Switch - Remote - 2,000 Watts - 12V # PD64FR.

- For your Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for Class A Motor Homes # RM-RBK22-RSSA, you should have received instructions. My apologies if this wasn't the case. I've attached a photo of the torque requirements from the instructions and have also attached the instruction link.
I recommend using the Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts - 0.20-Fl-Oz Tube # LT37420 because they will be vibrating and you don't want the bolts to come loose.

- Airlift recommends using a keyed circuit that's only active when the ignition is turned on, as the system can activate if the vehicle moves (a strong wind could possibly do it) and possibly drain the battery.
According to the installation instructions, the pink wire from the compressor harness shouldn't be installed on a circuit rated for more than 10A in order to prevent damaging the compressor. I looked over an online copy of the owner's manual, trying to find a good place to tap that...

- Running different air pressure from side to side is not an issue for handling on your 2000 Ford F350. It allows level transport so it will actually help with the handling. Using a kit like the Firestone Air Springs # F2071 will allow you to use the manual inflation valves separately for that very purpose. There are also compressors that will allow this independent adjustment. For that, I recommend the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function -...

- Correct, the bulb inside the Optronics Backup Light part # BU45CB is not replaceable because this is a submersible light therefore sealed. I would not really call this bad engineering as it was designed this way for a reason. If you were to replace the bulb you would have to break the seal and then the light would no longer be submersible.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller...
