It would be about the size of a deck of playing cards. Or just a little bigger each way. It would have some sort of manual control lever or **** and most likely have a 'power on' light or stop lamp light. It would be mounted under the dash or somewhere it could be seen and reached by the driver.

Welcome to FTE and thanks for joining us in the Towing forum!

Yes, most trailer supply shops and trailer dealers sell controllers and some install them. You can also buy controllers and wiring kits online at websites such as: www.etrailer.com.
