Question:

I have a motorhome on a 2020 Ford E450 chassis. What brake controller do you recommend? I've already got a 7 plug from the factory at the back. Thank you.

Thank you for all of the info!

For your motorhome on a 2020 Ford E-450 chassis I recommend the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 because it simply plugs into your factory 7-Way trailer connector and then pairs to your Apple/Android smart device via Bluetooth. You don't have to worry about installing any extra wiring or having any kind of extra device in your cab space that could potentially get in the way.

Some of the best features of the Echo are that you can easily store it inside your motorhome when you aren't using it, the Echo can easily be transferred to any other vehicle that has a functioning 7-Way trailer plug, and if your phone was to ever die or lose connection the controller itself would still function by maintaining the last settings that you saved for it.

Attached is a review video for you to check out on a motorhome with a 2015 Ford E-Series cutaway chassis. One other thing you might consider getting is a phone holder like the part # RVS-CEL-M1 so that your phone remains within reach so you can easily apply the manual override on the phone if you need to.
