Hey Tim, thanks for reaching out!

Yes and no. The Prodigy P3 # 90195 only comes with a pigtail that splices into factory wiring on any given vehicle so this specific part number won't be plug and play.

With that being said, your motorhome likely has a fully functioning 7-Way socket at the back, and you should have a pigtail somewhere on the driver's side of your motorhome; it could be under the seat, under the floorboard, up under the dash, or near/in the steering column. If you're able to find that you can either splice the included pigtail into it, or if you let me know the year/make/model of your motorhome I can see if there is a vehicle specific pigtail adapter you can use to just plug into it.

Are you planning on using this for a trailer, or a tow dolly with electric brakes?
