Does 2023 Airstream RV Built on Sprinter Chassis Need to have Brake Controller
Question:
I have a 2023 Mercedes sprinter van which has an airstream conversion on it RV. It has a towing package on it. It has the seven way plug has the trailer hitch. Do I need to put a brake controller on this for towing a trailer? If so, which product would I need?

Expert Reply:
If the trailer you plan on towing has brakes on it that would basically mean it's heavy enough that you are going to need to have the brakes operable which does require you to install a brake controller in your 2023 Sprinter.
So for that you'd want the Prodigy P2 brake controller part # 90885 as this is a very reliable and great performing brake controller and to install you'd only need the custom harness part # 3063-P which is a fit for your vehicle as well and plugs right into factory wiring.
