BrakeBuddy

You would probably do a whole lot better if you had brakes on the dolly. Just expecting the rear brakes to do it isn't much help.

My concern is the less than glowing comments I got from the company that was to install it. One of the things I learned from my years in the electronics business is that you never make derogatory comments about something a potential customer purchased. It's insulting.

My Soul has an automatic tranny, so I'm towing it on a dolly. The dolly has not brakes.

I read the installation instructions and agree it's not difficult and would have done it myself a few years ago, but now would prefer to have someone with the tools and expertise to do it.

I did find another party to do the install. I'm much more comfortable with him.

Thanks for all the comments.

You do have to have a cig. lighter receptacle that is hot when ignition is in ACC. If that isn't available, you can have a separate cig lighter receptacle installed that comes directly from the battery.
The brake buddy installation is something that you will have to do each time you hook up to the tow bar, not something that a dealer will do. Just follow the instructions in the initial setup and practice.
I leave my sensitivity setting at the very lowest setting so it takes a real panic to engage the brakes on the toad. You might find that you desire the additional braking of the toad...if so, I'd start at about 3 or 4 on the dial. I use 40 lb of pressure. I depend on the Brake Buddy more as a fail safe in case of an accident and somebody checks to see if I have an aux braking system and as a break-away stopping aid. 40 lbs will apply nearly maximum force to the brake pedal.
If your in doubt, wander around the campground and ask questions, you'll find a Brake Buddy owner who will give you a lesson on BB101. Good luck

What do you need to install ? I have the Brake Buddy and all I have to do is hook it to the brake pedal, plug it in, pump it up, actuate it a couple of times and go. The only thing to install is the breakaway line, which should be very simple and straight forward.
