What usually does not get discussed in these threads is what is the GVWR of your MH and what does your toad weigh? We live in America and everyone thinks differently which is good. I have heard of many problems on here and with friends that tow with these systems. Personally I would buy a steel tow bar over Al they are rated much higher. My steel tow bar is rated for 10,500 lbs and my tow car weighs 2400 lbs well within the GVWR of the MH. Always check the tow plate and hitch for bolt torque they can loosen. When and if I buy a new MH I will tow my wife's CRV which is heavier and get the Ready Brute which is steel and does not apply the toad brake except in hard stops. What i have not seen posted is someone on this forum that has tested the stopping distance with and without the brake system. I would not trust mfg web sites as Mowertech already posted they are misleading.
