Recommended Braking System For Flat Towing A 2021 Chevy Colorado
Question:
I have a diesel rv with air brakes, do I have to use an air activated braking system?

No, you could use another system like the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 which uses an inertia sensor to activate the brakes. This system applies your towed car's brakes with an intensity that matches your RV's braking action. The built-in inertia sensor detects when and how your rig slows down, and it then engages the actuator arm to press your car's brake pedal with an intensity that matches that slowing action. It is designed to activate only when deceleration is actually taking place. It is built with advanced terrain-sensing technology that keeps the unit from activating when you go over bumps in the road. As a result, your towed car's brakes won't engage unless you intend for them to engage.
This system wires directly to the battery on your 2021 Chevy Colorado so you won't have to worry about installing a separate 12v outlet in your vehicle to power the unit after disconnecting the battery. The included 15amp charge line kit will prevent you from arriving at your destination with a dead battery.
