Brake for toad
My Brake Buddy has died and I am looking for a good replacement. Any advice on a good system would be appreciated. I have a 2009 Allegro Bus and am towing a 2011 Chevy Silverado.

- X7 on the ready brake !

An SMI Airforce 1 would be the way I would go. You have air brakes on the bus and the AF-1 ties directly into that. Nothing to remove each time, just plug in your electrical and an airline.
X2 on that.
I've been using the AF-1 for about 3 years. It works great, dependable and no problems. The best thing about this is there IS NOTHING to adjust. Just hook up the quick disconnect air line and the cable going to the breakaway switch.
There is nothing to do inside the car, no big box that sits on the floor, just unlock the steering wheel and pull a fuse if your vehicle requires it. But then again if you do it with the system you have now that's a mute point. When you're done towing no box to remove and have to store somewhere.
SMI Air Force One- I went with the RVi brake system. It's non invasive and easy to take in and out. I had an SMI for 9 years.
- X8 on the ReadyBrake
- X-9 on the ReadyBrake.
- X10 - ReadyBrake. Simple and reliable.

SMI Air Force One
X3 on the SMI Airforce One. Simple...easy to hook up! You won't regret it- I would look at M&G or Air Force One for that vehicle.. These both use the vehicles power brakes and are not a dead pedal type of operation.. Mike Mathews..
