Electric Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2007 Coachmen Mirada Class A Motor Home
Question:
I am looking at purchasing a tow dolly with electric brakes to tow my vehicle behind my 2007 Coachmen Mirada Class A. Would this product work? Thanks

All you will need to engage the brakes on a tow dolly equipped with electric brakes is a functioning 7-Way trailer connector and a brake controller. The Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885, would be an excellent choice because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details for the brake controller.
If the RV does not have a 7-Way, you will need to add one using a 4- and 7-Way Installation kit, # ETBC7. You will probably need another 20 or so feet of # 10-1-1 wire and a circuit tester, # PTW2993, if you do not have one. I have included links to 2 FAQ articles and a video explaining the installation of an ETBC7. If your RV does not have any type of trailer connector at the rear, you will need to hardwire the stop, turn, and taillight functions as well.
