Towing Honda CR-V
OK, I bought a 2014 Honda CR-V to use as a toad. The manual has very detailed instructions on what to do to ready the CR-V to be towed after connecting the tow bars, but nothing on what to do to rever...

I'm currently on a trip in the SW, and I have extolled the virtues of towing a 2014 Honda CR-V in this thread. Yesterday I had a failure in that configuration. My Road-Master Even-Brake system locked up the wheels on the CR-V and squared off the tires trying to stop the MH. It continued with the CR-V brakes engaged even after I had released the MH brakes? Lots of smoke from the tires and a real jerk to the MH.
I quickly got to the shoulder to determine what happened. I have no idea? Everything seemed OK with the configuration of the set-up, and it returned a positive System OK when I re-tested the system. I removed the braking system and have been traveling without it. I would be more concerned if I did not have an Allison transmission with a grade brake, but after several 6-7,000 foot high passes, and a few 10,000 passes ahead I would like to have the system perform well. Tomorrow I will find a large gravel lot to test the system (without squaring the tires) to see if I can get it to work again?
Any thoughts?
