Scroll down to the more advanced version. That tow bar includes a surge brake system and is designed for cars. Pretty slick setup.
I read that a few people had trouble with this style setup as it was overapplying brakes at times and under steep hill descents and so they would burn through brakes on a trip until further adjustments were made. But, there's problems with every setup .. so I'm not sure if its worth being concerned about.
For now, I found a $500 EvenBrake on Ebay I bid on. Even if it costs me $500 to get the wiring harnesses installed, I'm still less than alternatives. If I don't win it, I would still be interested in people's recommendations. I don't like the idea of having to reconnect the brake setup ever time I leave with the RV ... so something permanent would be nice.
