Question

Question:

2009 Tiffin Allegro Open road 34TGA Workhorse chassis. IS there a plug and play e brake controller kit? Or what parts do I need to add a controller. I have the factory tow package with the 7 pin connector with the brake wiring already to the plug. Thanks

There is not an option for a plug-in brake controller in the traditional sense for your 2009 Tiffin Allegro motorhome, so you would need to hardwire in a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195.

The only exception to that would be Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180.

Since you mentioned you already had a working 7-way, you would be able to plug the Echo right into the 7-way with absolutely no additional wiring necessary. I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like.
