By far, the best option for the simplest, easiest to use brake controller for your motorhome is a wireless controller from Curt:
- Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180
The reason the Echo is so simple is because it is controlled with an app on your smartphone, a device that you're already comfortable using so there is not going to be any unfamiliar hardware or poorly-written manual to keep poring over simply to use your controller.
The Curt Echo # C51180 will simply plug into the 7-way on the back of your motorhome, which means no bulky unit in your cab, saving you precious space and the hassle of having to drill under your dash to mount it.
This is a proportional brake controller which responds to your motorhome's deceleration which ensures smooth braking. I have added a link to a video review of this controller for you to check out so you can see for yourself just how easy it is to use.
