Supplemental braking question

Hello

I am in the process of getting my Jeep setup for towing. I just installed the mopar wiring harness on Friday. I am now looking into portable braking systems. The two I am looking at are the Blue Ox patriot and the RVIbrake3. When I hit the brakes on the motorhome with the Mopar wiring harness, the brake lights come on and are powered via the motorhome. With the supplemental braking system, the brake petal is being pushed inside the Jeep which will also turn on the brake lights. I'm no electrician but will power coming from both the motorhome and the Jeep to the brake lights cause problems?

MetalGator, you might also want to consider a built in braking system, as there is nothing special to move around or carry. In my gas powered motorhome, I used a SMI Stay and Play. You simply hook up the hitch and wiring, flip a small switch under the dash and off you go. Mine was trouble free and easy to use. On my Diesel Pusher, I have the M&G system and love it. You just connect your hitch, plug in your wire and a flexible air hose. Fast and simple and it works great. I also considered one of the bulky boxes for my Wrangler Unlimited. The bulky box idea was voted down due to hook up/set up time, needing a place to put it when not being used, etc. Some people have them and love them, to each his own. JH
