Hi all - my first post, so be gentle.
Just picked up my 03 Southwind and need to know if the coach is pre-wired for electric trailer brake controllers? I am hoping all I need is an adapter plug to hook up my brake controller. Thanks!

If it's anything like my 2005 W20, the wiring is there for the trailer lights but not for the brake controller. Had to wire that from scratch.

Welcome AZ. I have a Pace Arrow and it is wired for lights only. I do not think that any of the Fleetwood gassers come with pre-wired brake controllers.

Actually, on my 06 Southwind there was a brake wire tucked under the dash near the left side of the steering column. IIRC it's a blue wire and has brake printed on the insulation.
I had to run other wires to the fuse panel for the pos and neg, but having the brake wire there already made things super easy.

Sure enough - a blue wire labelled for the Trlr brake up on top of all the bundles found under the dash. Should make the install pretty simple.
Thanks for the warm welcome! I hope I can add to the forum in the future.
