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.
My Kharma ran over my Dogma.

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.
