Yes, we carry the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195, which is the industry favorite at a very economical price. This controller is compatible with up to 4 axles so you'll be able to use this with a wide variety of trailers.

To complete installation the installation you'll need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3035-P. This will connect to your controller and splice into the wiring harness of your 2002 Fleetwood Bounder Motorhome.

If your motorhome only has a 4-way flat connector you can upgrade to a 7-way with the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole # 37185. This will connect to your 4-pole and require just a bit more wiring to complete the other connections I have listed below:

White: Ground
Blue: Brake
Black: "Hot" Lead - 12V power supply
Purple: Aux. - Reverse Lights etc.

Note: If you run the hot lead (black wire), you will need a circuit breaker, for example # 9510, between the adapter and the battery itself.
