Breaking System

I have the Brake Buddy and I like it. I have two toads and I move it between the toads. I have never been tempted to not put it in when I am towing.

If you tow often: Ready brake
If you leave the motor home sit all winter in the icy north, Then consider US-Gear Unified Brake Decelerator, Invisi Brake, and any of the other INSTALLED systems.

Avoid the box in the driver's seat systems like Brake Buddy,, Too easy to say "Oh, I'll forget it for this short tow" and regret later.

I just bought a 2004 Jeep Liberty. Now I need to know what is a good breaking system? I have a 2005 Bounder 35E, workhorse. Thanks Tom

You aren't saying as to whether or not you have purchased the tow bars, as yet, so with not having anything, I'd choose the NSA READYBRUTE/ELITE that comes with everything you need, except for the base plate (check out Demco) and although the READYSTOP breakaway feature is an inexpensive option.
If you already have a set of tow bars, then just purchase the READYBRAKE as it will adapt to it. Also consider the said READYSTOP. With the ELITE, NSA will supply the adapters for whichever base plate you choose. For your Jeep's wiring and before doing anything else, check with COOLTECH to see if they have a non-invasive plug and play wiring harness, like they do for the JK Wrangler. This will prevent you from having to cut and splice in diodes or drilling holes in your existing tail lights for extra bulb installation.
If a plug in and play harness isn't available anywhere, get back and I'll tell you about another non-invasive procedure for hard wiring the lighting.

Here's one more vote for the Readybrake system. Just can't beat it, IMO.

Another vote here for the ReadyBrake System. Been using it for awhile now along with the ReadyStop. Simple, easy and works great.

Having said that I have heard good things about the new RViBrake2 system too.

RVi Brake system is awesome! I have had SMI but I like a non invasive break system!

We started out using the Brake Buddy, but transitioned to RVI Brake. Best move we made, highly recommend the RVI Brake. Good luck.

I use the ReadyBrake, very satisfied.

I purchased a ReadyBrake for our 2014 Jeep Patriot and then discovered it would not work due to the routing of various brake, coolant and other items up against the firewall which prevented routing the braking cable. Something very unexpected and definitely unanticipated. Fortunately the outfit I bought it from agreed on the return.

Picked up the RViBrake2 system off EBay for a really good deal and while its only been about 6000 miles there have been absolutely no problems. Their customer service is superb and will take the time to answer even my most stupid questions. Quick and easy setup, not dependent on tow bar.

So, I wholeheartedly give a thumbs up to RViBrake2.

I will also give a thumbs up to the ReadyBrake if your rig is compatible and you are able to string a cable through your firewall.

ReadyBrake from Night Shift Auto. Reliable, easy to install and less expensive. Simply install the tow bar on the coach and the braking mechanism is incorporated into the tow bar. Nothing else to install.....Dennis

Yep, that!
