Supplemental Braking
In the next few months we hope to be able to get our 2016 Ford Focus (manual) set up for flat towing. Been looking around at the options and I like the idea of the Ready Brute Elite with the surge brake in it. My issue with it is that on their install video, they show that you have a friend push on the brake and the cable should push out the front of the vehicle. No problem for when it's hooked up to the RV, that's what it's supped to do. But, when unhooked, I don't know how I feel about a cable going in and out all the time when the brakes are pressed.
I like the idea of something like the brake buddy or patriot because we can move it from one vehicle to another or sell it if we need to and someone else can easily use it without installing new wires like on the readybrake. But, I am wondering if there are any downsides on using them?
Then there is the invisibrake. But again, something installed in the vehicle.
any other good, reliable and more inexpensive supplemental braking systems? Not having one is not an option.
