Recommended Trailer Brake Controller For Forest River FR3 30DS On A Ford Chassis F53

Question:

Hi, I have a 2018 Forest River FR3 30DS on a Ford chassis F53. What would you recommend for a quality unit that I can just plug in and go? I believe I found the connector under the steering column and want something that I can just plug in maybe with an adapter harness .

The brake controller install harness for your 2018 Forest River FR3 30DS on a Ford chassis F53 is the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers # 3035-P. This will give you the ability to plug-in and go. Just use the connection you mentioned under the steering column.

This adapter works perfectly with our most quality and efficient unit, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This proportional brake controller will activate your trailer brakes in a proportion to your vehicle's braking action. It'll automatically adjust your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of the tow vehicle and it activates immediately so there's no pausing like with your time delay brake controllers. It does have an automatic leveling ability because there's an internal sensor on the inside which will detect deceleration even if the controller is not mounted flat.
