I have a slightly smaller van and have gone for the Tekonsha model
I think it has a better pedigree than the others
Has a nice display and very simple to connect.
Just Remember to make sure the cable from the controller to the plug and from the van plug to the brakes is of a suitable size to ensure little or no volt drop when operating.
volt drop is an issue as it will affect the operation of the barkes when really required.
4 ton van sounds BIG
Need an F truck or Similar to lug it
Have fun
Geoff

Over the years I've used just about every brand and type of controller available, but
with safety and performance in mind these days I'd only ever use a quality Proportional Controller.
Tekonsha Prodigy (P2) or Hayman Reece Vinitour (Tekonsha P2 in another guise).
Tekonsha P3 - Similar to P2 but with more diagnostic features.
And for the budget conscious - Tekonsha Primus IQ or Hayman Reese Guardian IQ (Tekonsha primus in another guise).
