How to fit a Break Controller in Mercedes Sprinter Van

HI, I have a trailer with electric brakes( an old Franklin trailer) and a Van that has NO Break Controller or wiring for activating them. Need to know what Controller do I buy(and where to buy it)...

As Im pulling the trailer only once a year( from one building site to another:) and short distances , wouldnt something cheaper like Time Delayed Curt Venturer or Tekonsha Power Trac work for me too?


Once a year and short distance? I'd skip the brakes. I've towed 5000lb cars on 2000lb flatbed trailers with no brakes. Just leave a little extra distance in front. Pretend you're driving in the snow.
