I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your 2001 American Eagle Motorhome because it has an LCD screen that makes it easier to make adjustments and read what settings you're using.
The wires you'll need to connect this controller to your motorhome should be located near the steering column. If you can't find them here or under your dash another place to look is under your driver's seat. You'll need to connect the following wires from the pigtail to the following functions on your motorhome:
Blue - 7-Way Output to Trailer
Black - 12V Power
White - Ground
Red - COLD Side of Stop Light Switch (only gets hot when brake pedal is pressed)
Attached is a review video for you to check out. If you don't already have a 7-Way at the back of your motorhome let me know what wiring you currently have and I can help you out.
