I spoke with my contact at Autowbrake regarding the Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 and he said that the included key fob has been tested to work perfectly 300 feet away. He said the fob likely works at even greater distances but this is as far as they have tested it.

With that in mind the fob won't have any range issues with your 36 foot motorhome.
