Expert Reply:
If your Sprinter Motorhome doesn't have the OEM connector for you to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR by using the Custom Wiring Adapter # 3063-P and Adapter # 331-TPH-017 then you'll likely have some loose wiring somewhere or you'll have to install the wiring. The wiring will either be under the dash or under your driver's seat and should be labeled in some manner for you to splice the correct functions together.
If your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 doesn't have any of the wiring then you need the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter # TK22115. Once you get the wiring installed you'll need to splice the Tow-Pro Elite wiring to the brake controller pigtail or plug it in using the Adapter # 331-TPH-017.
