Real quick question for those that are using an air brake system for their Toad. I just installed the M&G system but have not yet connected it to the MH.

What size hose do you use for connecting the Coach to the Toad?? Coiled vs. straight, length, and good source of supply.

Thanks for any insight.

Bluewater49,
Just wondering, since this system ties into your air brake system on the coach, and, you're messing with critical systems, it would seem the install instructions for the M&G system would be real accurate and definite on just what size and type to use between the coach and toad. And, as it is my understanding, they will supply, as an option, a coiled hose with proper fittings on it already for a toad connection line, correct?

If so, I suspect that, that hose is of proper size, whatever size it is.

The reason I ask this is because I'm very, very close to purchasing the M&G system to replace my severely worn out Ready Brake system. And, as normal, it's always good to hear from folks that have done their own installation and of course, experience in the actual operation of it and how well it worked.

The installation instructions are pretty detailed and Marty is more than happy to help when necessary. I opted to have the module professionally installed but did the air line on the toad myself.

The coach came with the air system already installed so I don't need to do anything except connect the two together. M&G supplied everything necessary to make the connection although I did not purchase the optional coiled hose (probably should have) but I wanted to see what others have done.

I do have several yellow coiled air hoses for my air compressor but don't know if those are suitable for air brake use.
