I am new to the RV world. I have a 35 foot Class A diesel pusher, I need to tow a Honda CRV. I do have a Roadmaster Sterling tow bar. I am at a loss what system to install for a supplemental brake system. I need help, as I said before I am a novice. Thank you very much!

To add to the confusion... I've only used the US Gear Unified brake system. Installed it on three different toads, and two motor homes. Once installed, there is no other item to connect or disconnect from the toad. No electrical lines, no air hoses, no nothing. Even better, most motor homes are already pre-wired for this system with an empty connector under the dash and connected at the other end to the 7-pin connector.

In addition it uses a small vacuum pump to provide vacuum for the toad's power brakes....ever tried to use power brakes on your car without the engine running?? Just think how much force is required for all those other braking systems that doesn't use the toad's power brakes.

Fully adjustable, monitor and controller right at your finger tips when driving the motor home.

Ok, I'm done.

the Ready Brake system is, IMO, the best. Simple, mechanical, trouble and worry free, and permanently installed.

x2. I wanted something that was easy to move between motor homes and toads.

AirForceOne made by SMI is the best, costs a little more but it works off your airbrake system of your DP. I'm towing with SMI's StayInPlay for my Class C, it works on hydraulic brake systems. Both systems are wlll made and don't mess up the interior of your toad (box on the floor, something mounted inside the passenger compartment, etc).

Airforce one is the only way to go - much smoother stops and very easy to get going with it over my old Brake Buddy
