You would begin by installing a 7-way connector at the rear of the coach. How this is done will depend on whether you already have a functional 4-pole connector. If you do, you can simply use an adapter like part # 37185. The adapter would plug into your existing 4-pole, with the white wire grounded to the frame and the black wire extended with a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 and ran to the positive battery terminal via a 40 amp inline circuit breaker like part # 9510. The blue output wire on the adapter would not be needed.

If you do not have a 4 pole, you will need to determine which wiring system your coach uses. I have linked you to an FAQ article that will help you determine which system your coach uses. If it is a 2 wire system with the same tail light bulbs lighting up with the turn signal and brakes, you can install a 4-pole plug # 18002 and directly tap the wires into their proper circuits (white wire ground, yellow wire left turn/brake, green wire right turn/brake and brown wire running lights). If your coach has a 3-wire system with separate amber bulbs or lenses for the turn signals, you will need to install a tail light converter like part # 1191758 which would plug into the 4-pole on the adapter.

Once the 7-way was installed and functional, you would then install the controller. Be sure to follow the pairing instructions listed in the manual to the letter.

I have linked you to the instructions for the Prodigy RF brake controller as well as to the instructions for the tail light converter.
