Recommended Electric Trailer Brake Controller For 2008 Monaco Monarch Motorhome
Question:
What brake controller do you recommend for a 2008 Monaco Knight Motorhome with air brakes pulling an 18 ft, flatbed trailer with electric brakes on both axles?

Expert Reply:
For your 2008 Monaco Knight Motorhome with air brakes, you can use any proportional brake controller. I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR because I really like the function and the way it installs for a clean look. You can simply use the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED87FR for an easy installation. If you don't already have a 7-way you will also need the Hopkins Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185.
This combination will work well for your tandem axle flatbed trailer and will even work with triple axle trailers if you ever have the need. I've attached some videos to assist with the installation.
