I have the tow brake system - and so far have been happy with it. It does take some effort to make the initial installation - but works well. The pressure regulator is not adjustable as far as I can tell. There is a lever on the end of the linear electric motor where it attaches to the brake pedal - the lever is loaded by a spring - like a snow plow - if the motor pushes harder than the pedal needs, the pressure of the spring is overcome and the lever flexes.
The comment on the lights - there are small leds - on the M/H cab mounted control box - I have mine on the left wall. This also contains the mercury switch, the sensitivity adjustment, the on/off switch and a push button to activate the toad brakes without the M/H brakes. Green led on - power on, system OK. Red light on, brakes activated (at beginning of activation, short burst from buzzer. If cord from toad becomes unplugged (breakaway) the buzzer sounds continuously and the brakes are applied.
It takes about 2 - 3 minutes to install - putting pin in brake pedal bracket under dash is worst part.
Feel free to send a PM if you would like more info.
