Default Electric trailer brakes

Hi everybody I have a 2000 Gulfstream Scenic Cruiser 40 foot and I was wondering if anybody has added a electric brake controller to activate the brakes on my tandem trailer I want to pull behind having difficulties with finding a way to activate my brake controller but I mounted under the dash

If you are handy, there is only 4 wires to connect. It will require tapping into brake light wiring. If you aren't handy, any rv or trailer service business can do it.

Pickups all have a plug-in under the dash where you can plug in a brake controller. Don’t know whether or not this is on a motorhome. Might vary with chassis.

Curt makes a wireless controller. If you have a 7 way connector, just plug it in series with your trailer connection. Bluetooth it to your phone.

I just put a controller on my 2003 Gulf Stream scenic curser I bought Hayes air actuator because it tie's in to the air brake system there is no delay and works with the air brakes on my coach.

I second the Curt wireless. Works great, and is absolutely painless to set up and use.
