    FR3 Emergency Braking Performance

    In the 3 years of ownership, I have driven my FR3 for about 20,000 miles. I drive it like a non-emergency ambulance with a patient in the back; slow accelerations, slow braking, gentle turns.... Last month, while going 65 MPH on a freeway, the vehicle ahead of me braked hard. For the first time...

    Have you installed a 12v line to toad to power aux braking system?

    Just installed an RVi3 braking system in my toad. Since it uses the car's battery to power it, has anyone run an extra cable to the toad's battery to keep it charged and prevent it from going dead from long towing days?

    1996 Tourmaster lurching issue

    I've got the oddest issue hopefully I can properly explain it. 3 years ago when I first bought the RV I noticed that the cruise control didn't work well. When I'd set the speed the rig would start to jump gears back and forth between 5 and 6. So I didn't use it again for a year or so and then...
