Has anybody found the ready brake for less than $400 ?
Queens Carriage,
Well Sir, I'm not sure just how cheap you think you're going to get one but, $350-$400 is as cheap of a well working, well designed, auxiliary braking system as you're going to get, NEW!. The "Robot" ones like Even Brake, Brake Buddy and more, are considerably more expensive as in at a minimum of double if not triple that price.
We gave $300.00 at the Show in Quartzsite AZ a few years ago and it's been a flawless system. While the R/B system is a great system, the install instructions fall considerably shy of being practical and or looking aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention, the way I did it allows for seriously easier adjustment than those hideous "cable" clamps that R/B supplies you with.
I inserted a "Stainless steel turn buckle" in their place and that cable can now be adjusted in micro-seconds if and when needed. If and when you finally acquire a R/B, and would like a few tips on the installation, PM me and I'd be glad to send pics of my mods and how my system works. Mine is not connected to the brake pedal 24/7 as Ready Brake would have you do. It takes about 3 seconds to hook it up when getting ready to tow the toad.
