Question:
Hello, I have a 2016 Forest River Forester FRC2861DSF E-450 chassis Class C. I have the large trailer plug in the back but need a controller for the dash. I have a picture of where i believe it plugs in under the dash but seems its tied into the trailer plug . do you have a plug in controller for this Class C ? I would think i would plug it in and run the wires from the back to the controller. I can send picture if needed. Thanks so much for your help.

Expert Reply:
I recommend installing the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR on your 2016 Forest River Forester 2861DSF with the Ford E-450 cutaway chassis. This controller hides the main unit behind your dash and only requires a small hole in the dash for control knob. With the small area available in your drivers area this will be the best option. You will be able to connect it to the Ford wiring with the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # 331-TPH-005
