M&G brake system

[Scott Williams]

FWIW
I have had the SMI Silent partner system in use for about 4 years. Adjustable,
nothing to
hook up except the break-away cable, feedback in coach, does not interfear with
use of
car, nothing to take out/put in, wireless comunication (I did have to use the
external
antena on my 45 ft coach)

Have not had a single problem since install.

I was going to go with the M&G but... No feed back to coach when car brakes are
on, and
in the end I found out it would not fit my PT Crusier toad anyway.

BTW, Spartan (my chassis) now makes an add on tank/valve system just for this
purpose.
