Adding Electric Brake Controller to V10 Ford

[Grafur]

RE: Winnebago Adventurer 35U 2001 Ford V10.
I need to add a brake controller to this unit that has a 6 wire trailer plug at the hitch. It apperars that there is an open pin that perhaps I can utilize.
Is there any extra wires pulled in this chassie that I could find and use that run from front to back?
How do I find the 12+ and - , the brake light switch wireing and the extra useable wire if there is one?
The diagrams on the Winnebago site don't cover such things.

I don't know. I had Camping World install my brake controller on my Ford V10. It works great but I don't know what they had to do to install it. On my Dodge Durango I was told it is already wired so adding the controller is quite easy.

Others can probably give you a better answer.

Good luck.

Yes indead it can be relativly simple I installed a Prodogy into my 2000 F-150 and found that it was already prewired under the dash and all I had to do was hook it up and mount it Worked great good luck

Grafur, depending on what you will be towing you may need to install a 7 pin connector to match the trailer. You WILL have to run the brake wire from the front to the rear and do a complete install on the brake controller; the coach is not factory wired for one. A 12 volt test probe can identify the wiring already present at the 6 pin connector. Good luck and welcome to iRV2.com.
