WIth the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 you'll need to install a 7-way to the dolly with the # PK12706 so that you can activate the trailer's brakes. You'll also need to have a brake controller installed in your 2018 Georgetown 5.
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.
The install harness you'd need then would be the part # 3034-P which fits this controller and your motorhome.
