I now have 5,000mi flat towing our Ranger pickup equipped with the SuperStop Fitzall system (http://www.hendersonslineup.com/fitzall.htm). The system is spliced into the air brakes on the coach. When the coach service brakes are applied, air pressure strokes a cylinder/piston arrangement in the toad, applying the toad brakes, without power assist. I did not get the breakaway feature. Ordered it over the phone and self installed for about $500.
I am very pleased with the quality and operation of the system, and I'm surprised I have seen so little written about it. It seems like a very simple reliable system which gives true proportional braking if towing with a coach equipped with air brakes. They do offer a version which will work with hydraulic brakes on the coach, I don't have any experience with it. I'd be interested in hearing other experiences with it.
