I just did this on my truck I pull my gooseneck with. E-Trailer is in fact a one stop shop for this. We simply installed a 7 flat pin recepticle at the rear crossmember and wired from tail light wires right out of the harness end on the truck. Installed a Hayes time delayed brake controller, mounted and wired into cab, ran one wire from it to the back plug for trailer brakes, job done.
Did not change tractors trailer cord plug or wires, so as to be able to still pull fifth wheel trailer with no effort to change back. You do need the trailer brakes to help stop though as others have said.
7 pin(semi) plug to 7 blade utility trailer
