- We have an '09 CRV. Very happy with the Ready Brute system. Echardt's (NSA dealer)in Reseda did a custom baseplate (welded on) to match the hitch height on our MH and that has worked out well. Only regret is we didn't install a battery charge line, so I use a battery disconnect.
Norm - With our 2014 CRV and our 2009, 35ft Winnebago Class A gas motorhome, we installed the SMI stay and play duo. It needs both momentum and the brake pedal to engage.

Not to disagree, but I think most viewers click on the "Newest" and get all the latest posts regardless of the forum it was posted in.

I don't.
I start at either "Class A motorhomes" or "Around The Campfire", then proceed up or down the list checking only those forums in which I have an abiding interest.
"Dinghy Towing" is one of them.
To answer the OP, IMO the Ready Brute Elite integrated towbar and braking system is the best of the bunch.
Second would be the Ready Brake system, if you already have a towbar.
IF I ever buy a braking system, any electrical/electronic system will not even be under consideration!spud1957 wrote:

Personally I have one of the very few brake systems (see signature) that actually utilizes the toad's vacuum assisted "power brakes". Most others do not, and if you've ever had to use a car's brakes with the engine off, you'll understand the amount of force required to stop the car without power brakes.
