No, the Curt Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # C63CR is just to transfer your turn and braking signals from the motorhome through your towed vehicle so that drivers behind you can see them.

To activate the brakes in your towed vehicle you would need a supplemental braking system like the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524.

This braking system offers intense, emergency braking or steady, smooth braking in a single portable system. Easily switch between proportional or full braking using the remote from your RV. The included charge line kit will keep your towed vehicle's battery charged while you tow as well.
