Question:
Will the Curt 51180 brake controller work on a 38 foot motorhome?

Expert Reply:
As long as your 38 foot motorhome has a 7-way connector the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 can be used, but from our experience we have seen that it is hard to maintain signal to the brake controller when used on a motorhome due to the walls and distance between the Curt Echo # C51180 and your phone.
I recommend going with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it is a top of the line trailer brake controller that has an easy to read LCD screen and has a built in diagnostics system that is easy to understand.
If you can tell me what Year/Make/Model Motorhome you have I would be happy to recommend the correct wiring to install the Tekonsha P3 # 90195.
I included a video of the Tekons P3 # 90195 for you to take a look at.
