I'm glad to hear that your suspension upgrades have worked out well! We can absolutely help you get a brake controller that will work well for you, too.

The best solution to avoid any wiring into the cabin on your 2016 Fleetwood Bounder is the Curt Echo # C51180, which just plugs into your RV's 7 way trailer connector on the rear and will allow you to control the brakes on a trailer. I also prefer this option to a cabin mounted controller because it will allow you to use it on any vehicle with a 7 way trailer plug and never have to worry about installing a brake controller in your vehicles again. The Curt Echo is operated via your smart phone (iOS 8.0 or newer/Android 4.4 or newer) and provides you with responsive proportional braking for your trailer.

I've linked a short review video of the Echo for you to check out, as well.

For your 2024 Hyunda Santa Cruz we have the Curt 7-way kit part #C68JR that is a confirmed fit. This installs by plugging into a factory wiring connector on your vehicle which means a really easy install that doesn't require any splicing.

Answer 7

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Joe, yes the Lippert stabilizer jack part #LC298707 does fit your Grand Design Transcend 245RL but it is sold individually so if you wanted a set for the front and the rear you would need to order a quantity of two.
