I attached a picture that shows where you'll find the brake controller install port on your 2011 Forest Sunseeker RV on Ford E-450 chassis. Honestly I am not the biggest fan of Hopkins brake controllers. When we see internal issues for brake controllers it's almost always a Hopkins. Specifically the Reliance and the Agility.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
To install the controller the correct harness you'd want for your RV is the part # 3034-P.
