Better Brake Buddy Controller to Use if you Travel Through Mountains or Hills Frequently
Question:
Why does the brake buddy Classic 3 say not for use for: Travel through mountains or hilly areas frequently What do you consider frequently?
asked by: Gregg
Expert Reply:
If you plan on travelling through mountains, hills, or especially rocky terrain, then there is a chance that the Brake Buddy Classic 3, part # HM39494, could shake loose and become ineffective. As for what we consider frequent, that's hard to say: often enough that there's more of a chance to shake the controller loose.
It sounds like you are worried about that, so instead I recommend the Brake Buddy Stealth, part # HM39530. This installs permanently and out of the way and utilizes a brake controller in the RV cab. It bolts down in the tow vehicle, eliminating the chance for it to shake loose.
I've linked to a video installation so you can see how it works/mounts.
