So before all the hate starts I have to add the disclaimer here, I'm just telling you what the law is. Brakebuddy and all those others know good and well they are lying on their websites but they do it anyway. I would recommend that if you have a heavy toad or a light motorhome or a combination of the two, that you get aux brakes on your toad. But if you have a heavy DP and a light toad, do what you feel comfortable with.

Thanks for the info about what the laws actually are. It's interesting.

My issue with braking systems is that nobody ever acknowledges that braking systems can and do break or cause problems. So it's never, as a lot of people seem to assert, just a case of "Will it do any good whatsoever?" Instead, the question should be, "Will it do enough good to outweigh the cost and the possible problems it could actually cause?"

In my estimation, the having of an RV in the first place, more than outweighs any and all problems, that one could possibly have with our READYBRAKE!
In fact it came as part of the Tow Bar package and couldn't be any simpler in operation or to install. I look at it now and then, but haven't done a thing to it, since I installed it. If it decides to quit working for any reason, then it'll be like not having it in the first place and what many are suggesting here. This being a remote possibility, I'll simply have to take a few minutes out of my busy schedule and fix it......
