I recommend our Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This brake controller can control up to one to four axles of trailer brakes. This is an ideal solution for towing small trailers, all the way up to large trailers. Being a proportional brake controller, it'll give you the braking power relative to the braking power that's being applied in your Fleetwood Excursion that's doing the towing, so your trailer stops evenly and smoothly behind you.

A brake controller like the part # 90885 would do an excellent job controlling the brakes in your dolly and flat bed trailer, but to control the brakes in your toad vehicle you would need a supplemental braking system like the Even Brake part # RM-9400.
Brake controllers can activate electric trailer brake assemblies but there is no way to have them activate the brakes in a vehicle, that's where the # RM-9400 comes in.

The E1 error code on Hopkins brake controllers indicates that a trailer is not connected. If you do not have a trailer connected it will continue to display E1. If this happens when a trailer is connected then that could indicate a problem on the brake output circuit (Blue wire).
The E2 error on your Hopkins brake controller indicates a short to the blue wire. The most likely culprit is a dirty or corroded vehicle/trailer connector and is causing the controller to work intermittently.... view full answer...

If you want to install the necessary wiring for a brake controller, you can do it in two steps. The first step is to add a 4-pole harness. This harness will add the trailer lighting for your brakes, turn signals, and tail lights. Next, you can add an upgrade kit to take it from a 4-pole flat to a 7-way connection. This will add the power for a brake controller, a wire to connect to the battery for 12V power source, and lastly a wire for the reverse lights.

If you have electric brakes on your trailer you may be fine. If you trailer brakes are working, you may find that your actuator is cycling on and off when connected to the truck and this will significantly shorten the life of the actuator. Most factory brake controllers are not compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes.
The Dodge factory brake controllers are designed to be used with electric trailer brakes only and are not designed to be used with electric over hydraulic trailer... view full answer...
I believe by manual or computer you are referring to a time-delay or proportional brake controller. Of the two types of brake controllers, I recommend using a proportional brake controller because they use an internal accelerometer to apply the same braking power to the trailer that is being applied in the tow vehicle. This reduces the wear and tear on both the vehicle and the trailer.
A time delay brake controller will apply a set amount of power to the trailer. There will be a slight... view full answer...

Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide. Using a circuit tester like the Quickee Tester, part # PTW2993, you should get output to the controller side of the wire you severed. If the manual slide activates... view full answer...
