Toad / Tow Brakes
Dan,
I have both a jeep wrangler and chevy suburban, as toads. When I towed the jeep wrangler I did not have an aux braking system, the coach seemed to handle this fine. a breakaway situation would have been a problem however. When I decided to tow the suburban I did research and ended up using the M&G system.The hardest part was probally tapping into the brake system of the bus. Installation on the suburban took some time but once we read the instructions things went faster. LOL

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,
