Question:

Hi I have a 2012 Nissan NV 2500 V8 SV cargo van. Looking for the plug and play adapter for the tekonsha brake controllers. Is this 3050P the correct adapter?

I wish there was a plug and play harness that would allow you to install a Tekonsha brake controller but it looks like you are going to have to hardwire a brake controller to your 2012 Nissan NV.

The first thing you will need is a 4-way if you do not have one already at the rear of your vehicle. For that I would recommend the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118553. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.

Next, you will need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that a brake controller can be installed to it. For that you will need brake controller installation kit part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product also on a 2012 Nissan NV just like yours for you to check out also. You will need an extension wire for the # ETBC7 as well since your vehicle is so long. For that you would want part number # 10-2-1.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
