How It Works: Taps into vacuum source, either from RV or self-contained pump, to activate vacuum assist in the towed vehicle's brakes Connects to RV via wiring harness and signals actuator to depress dinghy's brakes when RV's brake lights illuminate Activates indicator light mounted in motor home when towed vehicle's brakes are activated Benefits: Towed vehicle is given active power assist for most natural braking Cable pulley tugs dinghy's brake pedal with controlled pressure Proper leverage is always maintained Minimal amount of pressure is used - no chance of damage to firewall, no wheel lockup Sensitive throttle-valve settings offer wider range of adjustment than traditional, pre-set braking systems Built-in anti-theft device Compatible with hybrids and other vehicles that have continuous power-assist brakes Drawbacks: Non-proportional system does not offer full emergency braking Actuator cannot be switched between towed vehicles Involved installation requires an advanced mechanical background |
