Question:
Hi Guys. I have a 2021 Ford E450 chassis with the new godzilla engine, set up as a Class C motorhome. I am looking to add a brake controller to this unit for towing a Jeep. Can you recommend the products that i need for this installation? Also if you have any pictures and or videos of where the factory harness is located, that would be great! Thanks in advance!

Sure thing!
I recommend checking out the:
-Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR.
This brake controller is great because of it's simplicity, can be mounted in any angle for installation, and when installed the unit is practically out of sight, with just the control knob being exposed keeping your interior looking clean.
If you wanted to, you could even take it a step further and use the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob # 331-TPSI-002 to really tie it all together.
to install this unit to your 2021 Ford E-450, you're going to need a 4-flat # A35W42B if one isn't present already, as well as a 7-way # ETBC7.
Since a custom vehicle adapter is not available for your vehicle, you will have to use the universal wiring harness # RED69FR.
This will only actuate the brakes on a trailer while it's being towed, if you're wanting to flat tow your Jeep, you're going to need a different braking system like the Brake Buddy Stealth # HM39530.
If you're looking for a full flat tow setup for your Jeep, let me know what you have and I'd be happy to get you sorted out.
I have included a couple of installation videos for you to check out as well.
