Brake Controller Plug Location on a 2014 Coachmen Freelander with Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector

Question

Question:

Is the 2014 Coachmen Freelander pre-wired for a brake controller? If so, where? It has a tow package and 7pin plug already installed.

The connector that you found under your dash is actually the OBD-II port which is why it doesn't quite match up with a brake controller adapter, like part # 3034-P which fits Tekonsha and Draw-Tite brake controllers.

Typically we find on motorhomes that the brake controller plug is up under the driver's side dash, next to the steering column, or under the driver's seat. From what I could find it looks like your 2014 Coachmen Freelander was built on a 2013 Ford E-350 chassis. If you skip to 7:15 minute mark on the linked installation video of the Prodigy P2 # 90885 and the adapter # 3034-P you can see that the plug on this 2013 E-350 cargo van was behind the center console area. I'm not sure if this would hold true for your motorhome but it's definitely worth checking out.

The Prodigy P2 is a great brake controller but I do recommend going with the newer P3 # 90195 model instead because it is much more user friendly with the LCD screen than the P2 was.

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
