To control the electric brakes on your camper, you will need to install a trailer brake controller in your 2015 Toyota Tacoma, which you will be able to install yourself.
For a brake controller, I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. This is a great proportional controller that will activate your camper's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your Tacoma. It features an easy-to-read digital display and continuous diagnostics to alert you to any potential issues. This unit is well known for its reliability and ease of installation.
If you have a factory 7-way on your vehicle, then all you will need to install the brake controller is the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3040-P. One end of this adapter will plug into the brake controller itself and the other end will connect directly to the built-in harness beneath the vehicle's dash.
I have attached an installation video on the 2012 Toyota Tacoma that you can use for reference.
