Sorry, I didn't see posters requested additional response. I had trailer place install the AutoStop on an Aladdin tow bar. It was in February in the northwest twin cities, MN, 20 degrees with 10 below windchill. The guy had it working after a full day of working on it. It apparently stopped working on the 100 mile trip home. Hence, when heading out to go to Alaska our first stop was Pender, NE, the home of Blue Ox. A guy worked on it for three hours and claimed it was working. By the time we got to Canada it was clear it was not working again. Went to a hitch place in Alberta and was told by the guy he never saw an AutoStop that would stay working. Got a Patriot and now all is well.
What went wrong? Well, a light is required to be installed in the coach to show the toad brakes are being actuated. In each case after driving for a while, the light simply would stop coming on, manually press on the toad brake and the light would come on, but would not when it should have during RV braking.
