Is 2016 Winnebago Journey prewired for brake controller?

Title pretty much says it all. Want to tow a 24' trailer with the Jeep and UTV next winter. Thought I would ask here before calling Winnebago Ind. Would rather do it myself than pay somebody $100 per hour to screw it up.
  • Probably. If there is a wire on the correct pin in the plug, it’s likely wired.

    The one in my Fleetwood was buried.
  • Brake wiring using the typical electric brake controller under the dash always uses a blue wire going back to the trailer hitch to connect to the towed vehicle. If you see a stray blue wire under your dash, or back at the hitch, then it's probably wired for it. It's always best to check the diagrams for your model of course.

    Here's a pretty neat trailer wiring diagram covering all the standard connectors that might be back near the hitch: Trailer Wiring
  • You could go to the Winnebago website to the Manuals and Diagrams section and download the wiring to see if it is wired.
