I can't say that I have any proof of this though.
And, what does it do on those long 6% downgrades with the engine compression brake on???
If you install the ind. light on your dash correctly, you can always see what the toad brakes are doing and just because the light might be on, when you're not really braking, it might be just enough to turn on the light and not necessarily dragging the brakes. Never a problem since inception with ours and we've been all over the country with it.
In essence, as soon as the toad tries catching up with the coach, the brakes will apply and just enough, so that it's no longer catching up to you and thereby releasing the brakes. Just like if you were driving the toad down hill and applying the brakes when necessary to sum it up.
