Yes, the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 can be installed in a motorhome with air brakes and can activate the electric brakes of a trailer. All that is needed for the controller is a brake signal to tell the controller to start applying trailer brakes. Typically this is found at the brake pedal switch for the stoplights of the trailer. Sometimes it can be found at the third brake light.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
