Are you buying everything new? I bought a used ReadyBrute that looked brand new for $250. Had Night Shift Auto go through it at a rally and they said it'd hardly been used. Bought the baseplate directly from BlueOx for a little over $300. Wiring harness was around $200. So for less than $1k I'm ready to roll. I've been using it for 11 years now and it's still working well. So, I'm into it for less than $100/yr.....Dennis
You don't mention a brake system. Did you do anything for that? What was the cost on that? I suppose you can say your $1K makes it towable, but for me I would need a braking system.
Check the NightShiftAuto website and read about the ReadyBrute. It incorporates the braking system INTO the tow bar itself via surge braking. Nothing extra to buy, nothing extra to fiddle with. That said, I've also incorporated the ReadyStop into my system. This device ensures the brakes on the toad will automatically deploy if it's separated from the coach. No runaway vehicle.....Dennis
