Will the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System Brake Going Up a Hill
Question:
If the accelerometer senses the change of speed to apply the brakes in the towed vehicle what happens when you are going up hill and your speed decreases.?
asked by: Chuck R
Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR operates off of inertia therefore a gradual decline in momentum while traveling up a hill will not apply enough force to activate the cylinder and apply the brakes on your toad. However, if you will be traveling though mountainous terrain then Blue Ox does recommend that you slightly decrease the sensitivity setting on the unit. Blue Ox stated that they have not heard of any complications about false braking while traveling up a hill.
