Brake controllers work on electric trailer brakes. Vehicles have hydraulic brakes so a regular trailer brake controller such as # 90195 would not work with a vehicle.
There are special supplemental braking systems for vehicles being towed behind a motor home. I have included a link that covers different types of supplemental braking systems for you. In order to determine which ones will fit I would need to know the year, make, and model of the vehicle you intend to tow.
