From what I found about your 2018 NewMar Ventana 4037 it is built on a 2018 Freightliner chassis and does not have a brake controller wiring setup.
You can install a brake controller but you'll have to hardwire the controller in.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59496.
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 P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup.
