It's a feel good item that can be saved for a warm weekend when you're not on the road.
I took the configuration a set further. Rather than working off the tow bar I taped into the switch on the toad that activities the brake lights when the brake pedal is moved. Power for the indicator is actually from the toad rather than the coach. Adds an extra set during hook up connecting the additional cable but it will give me an indication if the brakes are hung up due to a mechanical problem with the cable or tow bar actuator. The possibility of problem is pretty low but like I said a feel good item.
