The P2 brake controller part # 90885 that you referenced is a really great option for your 2006 Winnebago Itaska built on the F-53 chassis. It's the gold standard for brake controllers and has been for a very long time due to how well it works and how reliable it is. All you need to install it is the install harness part # 3035-P.

If you check out the picture I attached you'll see where to find the install port.
