Do I need an e brake controller to tow my 19 foot travel trailer with e brakes?

I have a towing package and had a harness installed by Honda. There was a wire included in the kit that was labeled "e brake controller wiring" which was not installed by Honda dealer. Now I have purchased a travel trailer with e brakes so I went to my local Honda dealer who said I did not need the e brake controller wiring or a controller for my new trailer. The tech said it will work as is, but my trailer dealer says I need an e brake controller. I am confused. Help!

    What kind of Honda and how heavy is the trailer?
