Installing Tekonsha Brake Controller on 2018 Georgetown GT3

Question

Question:

Does my 2018 Georgetown GT3 have a pre-wired brake contoller plug somewhere under the dash? If so, what pre-made 2-plug harness would connect to a Tekonsha 90160 Primus IQ controller?

Your 2018 Georgetown GT3 is built on the Ford F-53 chassis and there is indeed a factory brake controller port behind the dash. The correct Plug-In Harness to install the Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller # TK90160 is the part # 3035-P. One end will plug into the brake controller itself and the other end will connect to the factory port that is located on the left hand side of the steering column support near the emergency brake pedal on your F-53 (see attached image).

If your RV only has a factory 4-Way at the rear and not a 7-Way you will also need to add the Hopkins # 37185.
