Supplemental Brake Systems - update 8/7/06

I have the M&G brake system installed on my towed complete with the M&G breakaway system. The braking system has performed flawlessly for about a year. The breakaway system worked as it should when the cable switch to operate the system was inadvertantly operated. Since there is NO indication to the MH driver, I was unaware that the brekes in the towed were operated and I did nearly $1000 damage to the brakes of the towed. This breakaway system need to have an indication to the MH driver when the system is operated. An alternative would be for wiring (or Radio) be provided to indicate when the towed brakes are operated. I like the fact that equipment does not need to be removed and stored when I use the towed vehicle. I like that the system does NOT operate the brake pedal. This is NOT an endorsement of the M&G system, merely my experience. Each one must evaluate all aspects of each system along with their own likes and dislikes before choosing a brake system. In any case, I do recommend having auxilary brakes for ANY towed vehicle. A special thanks to Pulsar for this thread. I wish that I had seen it before making my decision even though I may not have made any change to my selection.
