This towed vehicle braking system is a top-quality product and is highly recommended to RV users who want a safe and secure family road trip.I like the remote monitoring from inside the RV of the Blue Ox brake system and the peace of mind of having the breakaway feature in case your tow comes unhooked from the RV. For some reason, the brake bracket is a little tricky to get attached to the brake pedal, but once attached, it works perfectly.
That type was the very first brought to market and I think it was Brake Buddy who was first, but don't bet the farm on my memory! That said, I used a Brake Buddy for more than 20 years, starting with the original model back in the 90's and then upgrading to a newer one about 2010. What is best will depend on a lot of variables but we towed relatively light weight towed vehicles compared to the motorhome and so didn't need braking on them in a normal stop. I kept mine adjusted to only turn on in hard stop and to brake hard when it did turn on. Probably the main weakness in that type of auxillary brake is that it isn't proportional. If you have a motorhome with air brakes I would go with one of those that operate from the motorhome air system but for a gas rig with a light weight towed I'd probably still go with either the Brake Buddy or the Patriot.Though the 'Box in the driver's seat" systems do have their uses..
Are you going to write us a ticket for some offence?You guys realize that this thread started in 2020?
Wally, It's good to hear that the Stay-N-Play system I sold you saved your bacon.
History shows that it wouldn't prevent/dissuade folks from replying to old threads. I'll check if it's a setting in the ACP, but I suspect it's fixed in the custom template.This new forum software makes it easy to create 'zombie threads'. Perhaps the date/time stamp should be bolded so it stands out a bit better?
