Supplemental braking
marty christensen:
We have the US Gear system on our coach which was transferred from our Safari coach. The high points of this this system that sold us was:
1-no hook up of any kind inside the tow car
2-no visible equipment inside the tow car
3-the tow car brakes on its own braking system
4-the tow cars battery is charged through the coaches electrical system when connected
5-there is an adjustable braking control for the tow car on the dash of the coach
The only negative I found to this system is that it cost more to install than some others.
My tow bar is a Roadmaster "Sterling" which supports 6000lbs (more than enough for our Tahoe) and stores its cables and wires on the bar so nothing has to be removed and stored in the basement. We just disconnect, fold the bar up and put the cover on.

Here is another vote for the Unified Tow Break by U. S Gear. We have had ours for over 10 years of trouble free service. Installed it myself and have moved it to two different vehicles. When we plug in our lights it is ready to go. Hooking up the breaking system takes 0 seconds.
Larry and Heidi Lee:
I appreciate everyone reminding me about the travel, safety and legal aspects regarding a braking system. I really like the convenience and features of the unified tow braking system and will put one on order. http://www.usgear.cc/utb_video.htm
