Hello David,

I don't blame you on wanting to do a one time install instead of taking the brake buddy in and out each time. For a wired in braking system it depends on what kind of brakes your coach has.

- For Air brakes: Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes - Proportional # SM99243

- For Hydraulic brakes: Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251

With either braking systems you will also need to install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 to prevent your car's brake signal from overriding the turn signal that comes from your RV while flat towing.

I've included a couple of install videos so you can see what you are getting into. Once you get the new braking system put in please let me know how you like it.
