Hey Mike! I see you were already looking at the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED96CR. This is my favorite brake controller and the one I recommend for almost all setups. The Liberty is simple, reliable, and doesn't take space in the cab. Do you have a factory 4-way/7-way with the brake controller port under the dash? Assuming you do, this will plug directly into the factory wiring for a plug and play installation. What kind of 5th wheel do you have?
