Expert Reply:
There are a few differences between the Universal Installation Kit part # ETBC7 and the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit part # ETBC7L. The biggest one is that part # ETBC7 comes with both the power and brake output wire you will need to run to the cab/battery whereas the part # ETBC7L only comes with the power wire you will need to run to the battery. The reason for this is because part # ETBC7L is geared more towards wireless brake controllers like the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 where the blue brake outwire wire does not need to be run. The part # ETBC7 is geared more towards conventional brake controllers like the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 where the blue brake output wire does need to be run.
