Brake indicator transmitter...

When I bought this RV, (see sig) it came with a Blue Ox setup...tow bar, toad braking box, books and cables. Then there was the BX88180 'Brake Indicator' system. Problem is that I have the receiver, but the transmitter never made it, so it's with the PO.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement? I can't seem to find a dang thing online other then one on eBay for $180...more then I'd like to pay. Especially when there was another one for $25 a few weeks ago that I didn't get around to buying. It can be generic, any brand is fine.

Thanks!
  • Cheap solution is to run a wire from the toad's brake light switch to the dash of the MH and a small red light at the end to signal when the toad's brake is applied. Of course you'd want to incorporate the wire in the umbilical cord between the MH and toad.
