Does 2023 Winnebago Revel Have Brake Controller Install Connector Under Seat

Question

Question:

I own a 2023 Winnebago Revel. I want/need to trailer a 16 dual axel enclosed trailer. Trailer has electric brakes. I need a controller for the van. The van is a MB Sprinter. Vinw1w4ebvy8np445991. I am unsure if the base Sprinter has the proper harness connections under captain chair. Can you verify if it would have the connectors based upon the VIN number? I have seen a few install videos and it appears quite easy to install, if equipped with proper equipment.

Hey Derek, your 2023 Winnebago Revel would have been made on a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 chassis which for sure does have the brake controller port under the seat like you mentioned.

The Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED52CR is a really nice brake controller that comes with the correct harness that plugs into this port and only actually puts a small knob on the dash of your Sprinter so it's a really nice option.

Is there another part needed? Videos mention a no splicing adapter. What is that part?

@DerekS That specific Redarc brake controller part number comes with the custom harness needed for your Sprinter that plugs in under the seat so no additional harness is needed.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
