Where is Brake Controller Install Connector on 2012 Itasca Cambria

Question

Question:

I have a 2012 itasca cambria motorhome on a 2010 ford E450 chassis with factory 7way. I am having a heck of a time finding the brake controller harness under the dash, could you shed some light? Wire colors? Is this pic attached the correct connector?

Hey Marcus, yeah the gray connector in the picture you sent in is the correct connector for the install of a brake controller. Where did you end up finding it?

It was near the steering column to taped to another harness, but it was topside where I couldn’t see it from the bottom

@MarcusB oh nice! I'm glad you found it but I hadn't thought of it maybe being on the topside.

@JamesonC, that was not the correct harness, it was actually behind the switches where the coin holder would go but all the way back against the firewall at the top of the dash. I had to get a 24” pick up tool/grabber to fish it out. I also went on a wild goose chase because the vent control has the same 4 colored wires as a brake controller and it went all the way across the dash which took 20 minutes to find and follow just to see it ends in the vents controller

@MarcusB oh wow, the connector you send in a picture of looks identical to what the harness is supposed to look like.

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

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.…
