Expert Reply:
The most popular and reliable proportional brake controllers we offer is the Prodigy P2 # 90885 from Tekonsha, which you referenced. We do not offer a quick-connect brake controller harness for use with Roadmaster chassis-based motor homes so your installation will be a hard-wire application.
I did a little research and found that there should be a blue wire underneath the dash area that will be your brake output wire that will be run to the six way of the Monaco. You will connect this brake output wire to the brake output wire (blue wire) of your brake controller.
The red wire from the brake controller will be the stoplight switch wire and will be run to the stoplight circuit of the Monaco. You will want to find a circuit that sees voltage when the brakes are applied and none when the brakes are not.
The white wire from the controller will be run to the negative side of the vehicle battery.
The black wire will need to be run to the positive side of the vehicle battery through a 30 Amp Pollak Circuit Breaker, part # PK54530.
