Air brakes on Towed

My buddy has the Brake Buddy. Install is easy, just plug it into the power outlet, hookup and he monitor/control box in the MH, watch that it connects and your all done. It's a simple system and you can easily move it between vehicles, unlike you system that is only for the 1 car. I'm planning on getting a newer vehicle and will then have 2 available toads. ThenBrake Buddy will be perfect for that.

BULL though they CLAIM no installation fact is you have to INSTALL it every time you tow and remove and store it when you want to drive the towed. EVERY install is a chance to screw it up and of course for a short trip tempting to say "oh forget it"

M*G **IF** it fits on your towed the cylinder goes under the Hood between the brake booster and master cylinder. NO effect from booster vacuum so no need to bleed it off. Works on MH air.

I am very much opposed to "Box in the driver's seat" systems like Brake Buddy in case you can not guess. Only good if you have a fleet of towed vehicles and don't want to buy a dozen systems. and even then I'd suggest something better.

Brake Buddy is labor free.

Back in 2011 we paid 1,100 for the AF1, installation was another four hours labor. It has worked great for over eight years. It does require hooking up the air line from the MH using the quick disconnects on the coach and toad.
