Question:
Are you able to offer any suggestions on best place to Mount the control head and the knob of the Redarc Tow Pro Elite on an 2017 E-450 motor home dash? My vehicle has the factory tow package. Thank you.

Helpful Expert Reply:
If it were my vehicle, I would mount the knob just below the steering wheel towards the right side of the dash that way it is a comfortable distance to reach with your right arm.
The beauty of the Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR is you are not restricted to any specific mounting location, just where ever you feel is the most convenient for you.
You will just need to drill a hole in the dash making sure you have at least 1-3/4" of space behind the knob.
For your 2017 Ford E-450 motorhome you will also need the plug in wiring adapter # 331-TPH-005 to plug into the factory trailer brake controller port underneath the dash of your vehicle.
I included a few video reviews of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
