How Does Brake Controller for 2018 Roadtrek on 2016 Chevy Express Van Install
Question:
My roadtrek popular 210 has a 4 way and 7 way plugs. The 7 way is connected to the 4 way. It operates the trailer systems but there us no controller. There are 4 wires that run from the 7 way to the front near my brake peddle. Can I use these wires to complete installation of a brake controller ? Which one do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
Since your 2018 Roadtrek motorhome is built on a 2016 Chevy Express Van the wires you found under the dash are the correct ones to use to install a brake controller. I attached an install video that shows how our very popular P3 part # 90195 installs on a similar 2017 Chevy Express Van for you to check out. This is one of our best selling and performing controllers so we recommend it very highly. It has a display that uses full words which makes understanding what's going on with it very easy and also has the most advanced inertia sensor out there which allows it to sense how hard you are applying the vehicle brakes and apply a proportional amount of braking to the trailer brakes.
