Installing brake controller for trailer elec brakes ?
So, I have a question about installing a brake controller into my 2006 Meridan, (which has the 7 pin socket ) so that I can tow the jeep on a trailer instead of 4 down.
On most trucks of that vintage there is a socket somewhere under the dash, that you can plug a brake controller into, without having to splice any wiring. Does anybody know if these coaches have such a socket, and where it is located ?
I didn't know if this should be posted in the towing forum or not, but figured as it was vehicle specific, it would be ok here...
Thanks in advance !

Our 04 Sightseer had a 6-pin round plug in back and was not factory wired for a controller. It was a Workhorse chassis with Chevy engine.
Our current 2012 Vista-Ford V10 was prewired. The Winnebago factory was helpful when I emailed in sending info on location.

Many thanks RGV Texan, that's exactly what I need !
Where did you get the matching controller connector from ?
I may be able to thank you personally, as I have a house on South Padre Island, and will be there this winter. Where do you stay....Long Island Village ?

Is the MG in the Valley? I run around with the STBCC (South TX British Car Club) A great group of guys and gals. My 75 is in WA and the 74 is in the RGB. We get down to the island for lunch every once in a while. One of our members Sam lives in Brownsville and go to the Dairy Queen on SP. quite often.

No, the MG is in storage in Houston, as it is not yet completed. I have a 95 XJS convertible that I will be bringing down there tho, and would love to get with you guys sometime. I should have it down there by Xmas, so keep me in mind if you have a GTG

'79 MGB??? I Had a '69 and I thought the last year for MGBs was 1973. Or did I lose a decade somewhere along the way. When did they start the plastic front end? I didn't have that.
74 was the last year for the chrome bumper.
80 was the last year for the rubber bumper.
Mine is a 79 with a chrome bumper conversion and 3.4 litre Camaro v6
Linear Mode
