Question:

do I have to run a separate wire for brake controller or is it already in the 7 pin connecter on the back of motorhome

There is a pin available on your RV's 7-way for installing a brake controller but you would need to install a brake controller as that circuit would not be active.

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. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

I attached a help article that covers installing a brake controller in a vehicle from scratch for you to check out as well.
