Thinking about ordering a Tekonsha P3 Electronic Brake Control from Camping World. Does anyone know how I need to order one so it will work with my 2005 Chevy 2500HD? I could not find anywhere on CW's website that broke them down between differnt TV's. I assume the wiring harness is different. I am replacing a Jordan control that I really no longer feel comfortable with and seems outdated compaired to the Tekonsha P3 Electronic Brake Control.

Thanks
Mike

Try this link RVWHOLESALERS. The P3 is $10 cheaper plus it will qualify for free shipping. They also have the wiring harnesses for the P3. I got my P3 from them (also got my old Prodigy from them). I like CW and do order from them frequently but it does pay to shop around.

Try these folks.

They have them on for $119.99. Add your plug in for your truck and off you go.
Have ordered several items from them and they have been good to deal with.

I don't know about the Chevy but on the Dodge it came with plug in wiring. Beyond simple installation.

Get the Factory style harness along with the P3 - the longest time will be spent on deciding where to mount the P3 - after that it takes about 5 - 6 mins to run the wire harness over to the junction box just to the left of the brake pedal it has a black plastic cover and 1 plastic nut there is a spot at the top to plug in the harness it can only go in 1 spot ( I know I tried )

Be aware the harness I got had the signal wire ( that tells the P3 you are braking) in the wrong spot on the harness - took about 1 min to reposition the wire in the correct spot on the plug once I figured out with a volt meter what was going on
