I do have an option for you but there is no pre-wired brake controller plug on a Thor Palazzo with Freightliner XC- Series Chassis. Therefore, in order to install a wired brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 you'll have to hardwire. This means running a power wire from the battery to the brake controller and then from the brake controller to the trailer connector.

Therefore, I recommend using a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 since installation will be much easier.
