M&G brake system
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.
