Brake Buddy or Blue Ox Patriot Brake System
Well I've bought the base plate, tow bar and wiring, now I need a brake system for towing our toad. Should I get the Brake Buddy or Blue Ox Patriot or are they both about the same? Thanks

OP, either of the units will do well. I've had my BB for 6 yrs and no issues. There are those who believe that their religion (here braking systems) is the only viable system to use. This same philosophy extends to baseplates/towbar type/diode kits or magnetlights, etc. Your unit my not be right either depending if its manufactured by Thor/Winnebago/Tiffin etc., compared to their's. Your choice to use a portable braking system has its pluses and minuses. I like mine. My towbar is a rigid type, I like this too. Use what you want. It will stop the TOAD when setup properly. I don't drive over 62MPH so my auxilary braking system is used for panic situations, but I don't tow a 5500 lb TOAD either. Choose either system and go RVing. See you down the road! JM2¢..
