Second one I have purchased. Easy to install. Great customer service
by: Brett07/08/2023
Simple to install. Haven't had to use it for it's intended purpose because my TOAD hasn't broken loose from my MH (at least not yet). Peace of mind and required by law is why I purchased.
by: Thomas 01/17/2020
The break away wire kit was a quality product. The only problem was that it didn't come with the banana plug ends to plug it into the break buddy. Now that there is no such thing as Radio Shack, finding banana plugs took some time and with shipping were expensive. The kit should include a pair.

the parts i needed to change to new tow vehicle
by: Steve 08/13/2022
This is a great kit for the breakaway switch. The kit has everything you need to add the breakaway switch to a second tow vehicle or replace an old one.

Working well
by: Charles10/01/2020
They had the parts I needed at an affordable price. Carol was fantastic when I call to check the status of my order and offered to follow-up on the order if it wasn't going to be filled timely. While she didn't have to follow-up, her attention to customer needs and focus on my satisfaction was refreshing to say the least. Great job Carol!

Hi, The break away items arrived today and will be installed on the 2019 Chev

I made it a point to inform the members about your firm and how pleased we are
with your service.
Can you send us your catalog and I will pass it around at next months meeting.

- Replacement Breakaway System For a Brake Buddy 2 Supplemental Braking SystemThe Replacement Breakaway System # HM39340 is the correct part for your Brake Buddy 2.
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Break Away Switch be Used With Hopkins Brake Buddy Supplemental Braking SystemThe break away switch used on the Roadmaster Even Brake and the Hopkins Brake Buddy are both open circuit-style switches, they're normally open until the pin gets pulled at which time the circuit closes and the unit actuates the vehicle brakes. What you propose to do should work just fine but I'd recommend testing the switch a couple of times afterward to make sure everything still works the way it should. FYI, Brake Buddy does offer a replacement switch as part # HM39340. I've linked...
view full answer... - Replacement Breakaway System for Brake Buddy Classic Yes, for the original Brake Buddy Classic Braking System we have the Replacement Breakaway System # HM39303. This will replace all the components of the breakaway assembly so that the vehicle's brakes will activate if it should ever become disconnected from the RV.
view full answer... - Replacement Breakaway Switch Solution for Brake Buddy II Supplemental Braking SystemThe complete replacement breakaway kit for a Hopkins Brake Buddy II is the part # HM39340 but since you only want the switch Fred and it's a universal switch that is used you could use the part # C52010 and be fine.
