Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for RV Towing with Blue Ox Tow Bar
Question:
I have a blue ox tow bar, 10,000 lb capacity. My RV is a gas unit, 35foot towing a ford truck f150 1999. What type of breaking system will I need?? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Some systems like this require pretty in-depth installs but this one installs incredibly easy and works just as good as any of the systems on the market so I would highly recommend it for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
