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?

Hey Mike, did the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller work well for your setup with the 40 ft fifth wheel? I'm curious to know if it made towing easier for you, as it could help others with similar towing needs.
