Yes, the Curt Echo Wireless controller Item # C51180 will work with a uhaul so long as it has a 7 pin connector. The Echo was designed for someone to use on multiple vehicles and trailers so you don't have to hardwire a brake controller into each one. The Echo requires a 7 pin vehicle connector and a 7 pin trailer connector. The only issue you may potentially encounter is with the length of the truck. If you're using one of the big 24' uhaul's the distance from your phone to the Echo may cause some connection issues.
