Pulling a "Toad" on a Trailer?
Has anyone tried pulling their "Toad" vehicle on a trailer? I'm talking about a Class A Gasser with the Triton V-10... The reason that I ask is that I have a Subaru Outback.. All Wheel Drive mean...

Assuming that I went the way of 4 down instead of trailer... I am really thinking that the ReadyBrake perhaps with the added brake vacuum pump is the way to go instead of invisabrake.
The idea of invisabrake is nice, but if I read it correctly it is NOT proportional... in other words, the brake is either applied or not applied. So if you are in the habit of making long, slow stops (I teach tractor trailer driving so I am all about loooong slow stops) you will have disproportionate amount of braking from your Toad, on the other hand if you need a quick stop, you don't get any extra assistance from behind.
With the ReadyBrake a long slowdown will result in minimal braking from the Toad. The harder you slow down, the more braking you get from the Toad. Add in the vacuum pump (if necessary) and it seems to me that you have got almost the equivalent of proportional electric brakes.
Am I looking at this correctly?
as a 14 year user of a brake buddy, I think that the "proportional" hype is just that , hype, and an advertising gimmick. I set my BB so that it would only come on under fairly severe braking, I did not want my toad stopping my motorhome. worked just fine. I would not hesitate to buy and use any "non-proportional" braking systems myself if the system otherwise fits your needs.
