Isn't the Readybrake baiscally a surge brake? One thing I've always been concerned about in a surge brake is burning up the brakes on a long down hill grade. Seems like the tow brakes would be activiated continiously.

Can't happen. Once the brakes are applied to the toad, it slows immediately and is no longer catching up with the coach, so they release. Also if you wire your dash indicator light properly you'll know immediately when the toads brake pedal is being depressed, even so lightly.
I vote for the complete package of the READYBRAKE ELITE and a baseplate of your choice with Demco being my choice for the Jeep Wrangler or you can pay a lot more and in most cases get a lot less. Also the only light weight Alum. bars that are rated for 8000lbs that I know of.
TOWBARS UNLIMITED has the best prices and best support that I've found so far.
