Hey Thomas, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do have plug-in brake controller options for your 2017 Thor Chateau/Ford F450.
Our least expensive option is the Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # C38YV. This is a time delayed controller though, so there will be a slight delay between you pressing the brake pedal, and the brakes on the trailer engaging. Time delayed controllers work fine, but I really only recommend them to folks who are looking to keep costs down.
If you want a fully proportional controller with no time delay, we have the Curt TriFlex NEXT Trailer Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness # C92GV. It is bit more expensive, but it'll give you smoother, more controlled stops.
What are you towing behind the Chateau?
