For those that have connected a light on the dash to the supplemental brake system, (brake buddy in my case) where did you connect the light to? The alert terminals on the brake buddy? Someone mentioned connecting to the TOAD brake light circuit but that is on whenever the MH brakes are one because of the tow hitch wiring. Needs to be a light that tells when the brake buddy has activated. Suggestions?

Johnny thats a good informative post. I too enjoy my tow brake and brakeaway. Yes it is a personal choice and well it should be. I just don't understand why some disagree so stongly when you offer advice in favor, to someone new that has asked for advice? I'll definately recomend to someone asking, to see this sticky.

Because of price we are looking at the Readybrute/Readybrake system but it has to be ordered as you can't buy them in stores. You can get the whole system for under $1500 + install...if you need that. Seen a lot of good things about it on the forums.

I am thinking of buying from "Towbars Unlimited" out of Florida. Has anyone done business with this company and how was their service if you did?

The Towing World chart you posted the link to is not really accurate either. In checking three states (OR, WA & CA) that I have researched thoroughly I found that the list was wrong on two of them (OR & WA) and the third (CA) was incomplete.



Deen any updates or corrections would be appreciated...

Thanks

Ontario car towing clarification (page 5 & 6), not sure if this is "law", regulation or policy...
