If all it does is beep, then it's about $7,950 over priced. I have one on my Explorer that's tied to the cruise control and brakes. I set the max speed, spacing between the cars, and it does the rest. Anything less is a waste.

Sorry, that's what I was trying to say on my one and only "Pro" about the system. I think that's what "Adaptive Cruise Control" means. I had adaptive cruise control in my old Lexus and really loved it because I drove that faster than the average traffic and it was helpful in that situation. But I'm thinking it won't be that practical when I rarely come up on traffic.

. Agreed. I never keep up with the 'flow' when driving the MH. The beep still makes no sense the way you describe. Cruise or not, when I'm coming up on traffic, the is an HID red bar, and beeper telling me to wake up, then it pre-charges the brakes. But never when it's pacing traffic.

As far as DW collision avoidance, if I were to install a pressure switch in the arm of the captains chair, it wouldn't quit beeping either.
