Toads

2 weeks into my first experience with my new class c towing a honda crv. Of course, I forgot to turn the key off one night and had to jump the honda the next morning, won't do that again, but here's my question----what if the battery in the honda should go dead while in ac1 and tooling down the freeway? Does everything shut down and freeze up right at that particular instant or will it continues as is until the next time I stop.

  • It may depend on which brake assist system that you use. I have a Blue Ox Patriot 2012 Brake Assist Unit. I had that happen to me when driving back from VA Beach to Manassas, VA. Just north of Richmond I got an error code 04 on my remote unit. I pulled off at the next exit because I was afraid that the toad would just brake and seize. It didn't. But the battery was dead and I had to jump start it. I just had my girl friend drive the toad the rest of the way. I later read in my manual that the Blue Ox Patriot stops working when power runs out except for the break away cable, if it is attached.
