Just purchased a 2012 Forest River 283 GTS Lexington 31ft. I have only taken it out one time before winterizing it. I am looking to purchase a trailer to haul my motorcycle behind the motor home. My question is, are the Lexington's set up with a brake control system already or do I need to purchase a controller for the brakes? I've never had a motor home before but used to tow a sailboat and I needed to purchase a brake controller.
We have a 265 and no they do not have a brake controller. I looked into adding one on ours and read on the forum that it is pre wired with the wire attached behind the coin holder on the dash where the factory brake controller would be.

Thanks for the input, but let me ask a dumb question. What is a surge brake? I've never had a motor home before but I have towed a sailboat and a pop-up tent trailer for many years and we used the electric brakes that came with the trailers.
