Supplemental Brake Systems - update 8/7/06

Update on the Remco system. I spoke with Remco today concerning the breakaway system. I asked for a sketch and was told that they did not have one. Then I asked just how it works and was told if the car breaks loose the cable will pull the brake pedal before snaping and then will lock itself in position which will hold the brakes on the car. Sounds like a workable system. I was also told that you need 15-16 inches clearance from the ground to the bottom of your existing hitch receiver to keep the Remco weld on receiver from draging. I believe I only have 12.5 inches but will have to double check that measurement on a hard surface as I normally park in my barn lot.
