When you press the brakes in your coach, the Air Force One mirrors that pressure instantly in the towed vehicle for smooth, balanced stops. It ties directly into the motorhome’s air brakes and uses the same air pressure to apply the toad’s brakes at the same time and with the same intensity. Because it’s a proportional system, there’s no lag or harshness—just even braking that feels natural and safe every time you slow down or stop.
Most vehicles lose their vacuum-assist when the engine is off, which can make supplemental braking systems feel grabby or stiff. The Air Force One solves that by reactivating the vehicle’s own vacuum-assist using the coach’s air supply. This means the pedal pressure stays consistent, braking feels normal, and there’s less strain on the toad’s components.
Once installed, the Air Force One becomes part of the vehicle. The operating unit mounts under the hood with a compact profile that stays tucked away and out of sight. The actuating cylinder connects permanently to the brake pedal arm and anchor point but doesn’t interfere with everyday driving. With the Safe Haul-specific coiled air hose—7' long when stretched—you simply plug in and go. The system turns on automatically when connected, with no need to reset or reposition anything.
Safety is built right in. The LED indicator light mounts on the dash so you can see when the brakes are actually being applied, not just when the system activates. A breakaway switch and cable are included to bring the towed vehicle to a controlled stop if it ever separates from the RV. The main unit keeps a reserve air supply and seals off the coach’s brakes to ensure the motorhome still stops normally. Everything meets FMVSS safety guidelines for air-braked motorhomes.
Designed to complete the factory-installed Safe Haul prep on 2019 and newer Spartan motorhomes, this kit includes the Spartan Safe Haul-specific coiled air hose, breakaway switch, and all necessary components. It’s a one-time setup that works with power-assist brakes and hybrids, stays hidden once installed, and delivers reliable, proportional braking every trip.
Flat towing can be a much more convenient way to take your car RVing with you than using a trailer or a tow dolly. It'll save you storage space both at home and at the campsite, and it takes less time and hassle to hook up.
To flat tow your vehicle, there are 5 basic components you're going to need: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a flat tow braking system.
| For the RV | Between the RV and Towed Car | For the Towed Car |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch | Tow bar | Base plate |
| Wiring plug | Safety cables | Braking system |
| Wiring adapter cord | Wiring kit/diodes |
The custom-fit base plate installs on the frame of your toad so you can connect the car to your RV with a tow bar. Hook up safety cables between the vehicles to ensure that the toad does not separate from the motorhome if the tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring syncs your vehicle's signal lights with your motorhome's tail lights, as required by law in most states. Finally, the flat tow braking system - also required in most states - activates the brakes in the toad when you hit the brakes in the RV, making for smoother, safer braking, and preventing wear on your motorhome.

That's a really smart idea to have an extra hose. I have heard a few cases of them growing legs and walking off magically at a pit stop.
