I know there are many threads about toad brake systems here and on the ?other? forum and I will be re-reading them.
But I would like a sanity check on where I am currently at.
I am having Remco in Annapolis ?work up? an estimate for me. They are recommending the ?roadmaster? towing system, (Sterling model) and for toad brakes the Roadmaster ?Brakemaster?. I believe this system taps into the pusher air or hydraulic brake system and gives true proportional braking with full meter indication in the cab.
I don?t know if the Newmar Kountry Star has airbrakes (well the parking brake is air but not sure about the driving brakes) or hydraulic brakes, but the Brakemaster is supposed to tap in to one or the other pusher system. I am waiting to hear from Newmar on which type and whether this would void warranty.
Does this sound like a good way to go?
The dealer is minimizing toad brakes saying that the pusher braking will overwhelm the toad and make toad braking non critical. The dealer says they can install a much less expensive Brake Buddy that uses inertia braking. What say?
