Brake Controller for Toad questions
I want to get a small car for a toad and I'm trying to get info on a brake controller system that actuates the (hydraulic) car brakes via the controller. Does such an animal exist? I see electric ...

After using an electronic system (and having it fail repeatedly in the middle of trips), I went to this:

Hands down, the best and most inexpensive way of having good toad brake.
X2 on the Readybrake. You just cannot beat the Readybrake, IMO. No electronics to foul up, nothing to install and take out every time you tow, fairly simple one-time installation of cable to brake pedal, and to top it all off: It costs significantly less than any other system. Nearly $1000 or more less, if you get their ReadyBrute Elite setup that includes both tow bar and braking system for nearly the same as you'd pay for just a tow bar alone from anyone else.
Oh, and Bumpyroad is exactly right, about 'not drinking the koolaid' when it comes to the talk about 'proportional'. By the true definition of 'proportional', truth is very, very few braking systems out there are truly proportional (Unified system, contrary to what they say, is not). Only way to get a true proportional system is if you own a diesel pusher MH with full air brakes, and go with a (very expensive!) braking system like M&G or Air Force One that taps in and works directly off MH's air brakes.
