Toad / Tow Brakes

[Curt Sprenger]

Dan,

I have an SMI unit installed in our '87 PT38 and Bronco toad. The SMI gives feedback to let you know the toad brakes are applied, and the dial allows setting the amount of toad braking. This was installed a couple years ago so SMI may have updated units now. If you need more info. don't hesitate to let me know.

We will begin full timing within the next 6 months. Our motorhome is

a 1994 Bluebird BMC diesel pusher with a Spartan air brake chassis

(mountain master type class) , tow car is a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX

wagon 5 speed.



I have done some net research, and have not made a final decison.



I do not want to have to add/remove any components inside the the tow

car to tow/drive. I want feedback inside the coach of what the toad

brakes are doing.



I will likely install myself, and while mechanically inclined, and I

have most tools, easier install is always nice - if it doesn't give

up too many features.



Thus far I am at:

SMI Air Force One

SMI Stay In Play Duo

US Gear Unified Tow Brake UTB-1000



I could use any advice/rational to help me decide,

Thanks,

Dan
