I need everything to installer a controller to include the 7 pin male plug. I need a brake controller to tow a 20 ft car hauler, Trailer has Electric brakes. Help me understand

It definitely is the case that any vehicle can have a brake controller installed in it. They are pretty universal in how they install but some vehicles have pre-wiring which makes it a bit easier to install them. So to install a brake controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR you would need to first have a 4-way harness installed like the # 119190KIT. Then you would need to convert it to a 7-way with the kit part # ETBC7 which comes with the wiring needed to wire in the brake controller as well.

Since the ETBC7 was designed for a vehicle and not a motorhome you would need to provide additional 10 gauge wire to get from the cab of the vehicle to the rear where the 7-way would be. For that you'd need the # 10-1-1 which we offer by the foot. It's probably a good idea to order roughly the length of the motorhome.
