The Air Force One uses the same air pressure from your RV’s brake lines to apply the towed vehicle’s brakes at the exact same time and intensity. That means when you stop smoothly, so does your towed vehicle—no delay, no jerky motion, no over-braking. The system reactivates the vehicle’s vacuum-assist braking so that every stop feels natural and even, reducing wear on both vehicles. For long mountain grades or sudden stops, it’s consistent, balanced braking that just works.
This system is built for those who don’t want to haul a portable box or fuss with setup every trip. Installed once, the components stay tucked away under the hood and chassis, completely out of the cabin and out of sight. Just connect the coiled air hose and plug in the cord, and the system automatically powers up. You’ll have a clean interior, no interference with normal driving, and quick hook-ups that save time even in bad weather.
The included Coachlink monitor mounts in your RV and keeps you informed in real time. Bright LEDs and an audible alert tell you exactly when the towed vehicle’s brake pedal is actually being pressed—not just when the system thinks it should be. The transmitter connects to a reed switch on the brake, so you can trust that the signal is accurate. With a half-mile wireless range, you’ll always know your braking system is doing its job.
If the worst happens and the towed vehicle separates, the Air Force One’s breakaway switch triggers an emergency stop using its own onboard air supply. That reserve air instantly applies the brakes to bring the vehicle to a controlled halt while sealing off the RV’s air system so your coach brakes remain fully functional. It’s a safeguard that meets FMVSS safety guidelines—protection you’ll hope to never need but will be glad is there.
This system meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard requirements and includes all key components—breakaway switch, coiled 7-foot air hose, and fittings for a complete setup. The pressure protection valve and dedicated air reservoir ensure the RV’s brake performance is unaffected. With its proportional operation, wireless insight, and durable build, the Air Force One delivers the kind of reliability that seasoned RVers describe simply as “it just always works.”
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.

The AF1 system has been great, only one instance where the micro switch on the brake pedal got out of alignment a hair and was showing my brakes on when then were not! My other frustration is the Demco Tow bar vertical pivot, even though I torque the bolts to spec it always moves. Starting out level it always moves. I have replaced the washers, torqued a few lbs more, and it still moves! Contacting Demco for help as this is not safe or acceptable!

My Air Force One braking system works great on my 2018 GMC Canyon. It took me about 6 or 7 hours to install. I also installed the Roadmaster battery disconnect. Ive had no problems with it at all. Ive put several thousand miles on and I love it.

This braking system has worked flawlessly. No fuss startup. Plug in airline, snap on breakaway cable, and your good to go. Did 8000 miles without any issues.

I’m very satisfied with it. Unlike Brake Buddy you can see it’s working without it moving.

After my first full year using the braking system, it has worked perfectly. No issues at all.
