Question:

I recently bought a trailer hitch and the wiring harness from you guys and now I need to purchase a brake assist controller. I already have the 4 pinn connector on the rear of the car. My pop up camper is a 7 way pinn tags has electric brakes. I need the break controller an the wiring harness fro the car to the trailer. Do I need extra harness for this?

Since you have a 4-way already you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. The video shows this kit being installed in a very similar Ford Escape as yours.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
