Question:

Hi, I have a 2009 Subaru Forester that already has a hitch on it, but none of the wiring for pulling a trailer. I want to pull a popup camper with electric brakes 7 pin connector. What parts would I need to install to make this a reality? Thanks,

You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118467. I attached an install video as well.

From there 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.

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.
