Question:
Do I need a pedal pusher with this setup?

Expert Reply:
By law, any vehicle and load with a gross vehicle weight over 4,000lbs requires brakes, even if you're lighter it's a good idea to have a braking system for safety reasons. For that, I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR. This is a portable supplemental breaking system that features a LED display that lets you easily adjust braking power, apply manual override, and monitor the system from your motorhome.
Additionally, you will also need to install the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332 that will create a 12v outlet needed to power your Blue Ox Patriot.
