I spoke with someone at Tiffin about installing a brake controller on your 2018 Tiffin Phaeton Class A RV on a Powerglide chassis as we have yet to perform an installation.

Under your driver side dash there are 4 wires that have butt connectors on them. They are labeled as to which wire is for which function.To install your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 on your Phaeton simply connect the following wires from the pigtail that comes with the P3 to the following functions:

Black - 12V Power Supply
White - Ground
Blue - Brake Controller Output
Red - Stop Light Switch

Let me know if you have any other questions.
