Great question, Carmen. Yes, if you follow the setup steps carefully, especially Step 7 in the instructions (see pic). You’ll want to position the adjustable pedals all the way closest to the driver before installing the clamp and braided cable. That way, when the pedals are moved later for driving, there’s still enough slack to avoid tension on the brake line. The Shadow 2 # RVi94FR will only pull when it’s engaged in tow mode, so you’re safe to drive normally otherwise.

What system have you used previously? Was it a fixed/permanent system like this, or a portable one that you have to remove/install each time?
