- NeverHome2Explorermikestock, I am not an RV mechanic or a professional mechanic at all, but maybe I should be. Didn't take me any where near 4 hrs for both units. Did it all in one morning (and I'm retired, not moving very fast any more.).

If you are talking about towing capacity I have 10k with the Blue Ox I now have. - mikestockExplorer

- sch911ExplorerBrake Buddy X 4, It's by far the least invasive, and easiest to install remove IMHO.
- mikestockExplorerI looked at the Invisibrake install and it looks to be more than I want to do. I'm not going to s**** my Blue Ox tow bar so the Brake Buddy Vantage looks like the easiest solution for me. A local dealer priced it to me for $1400+tax but it's about $1200 on Amazon Prime. Might find it even cheaper if I keep looking.
Strange, it won't let me type the word "s-c-r-a-p"?????? - w4phjExplorerI love my Brake Buddy. It is now in it's 4th dinghy.
Installation is not gender specific, anyone can install it
in about one minute. - The install for this unit takes a little longer initially, but the end result is much nicer.
Invisibrake - IvylogExplorer IIINot sure if you want to make one so here's the one I made.
I made my own out of a 1.25" air cylinder and tied it into my air brake system for less than $50. PM me. Takes 20 seconds to hook up.
