Will the Curt Echo Work with my 40 ft. Motorhome

Question:
Would this work with a 40 ft motorhome, would be much easier than pulling a brake wire from the front and mounting a controller.

Yes the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 can be used on any vehicle with a powered 12 volt trailer connector.
The limiting factor is range. The Echo uses a Bluetooth connection these connections can easily cover over 40 ft. If for some reason there were to be interference something I really like about the Echo is that it doesn't just stop working if you lose signal or if your phone happens to die. It is designed to continue working at the last set of settings that you put in. This will eliminate any issues with signal loss for intermittent periods. Keep in mind though the manual override is not active when signal is lost.
I discuss this in the linked video I made on the Echo linked below. Check it out.
