Are There Any Supplemental Braking Systems That Can Activate Off Of A Trailer Brake Controller
Question:
Last year I purchased a Brake Buddy Stealth from you. The Stealth is too complicated for its intended use, and the RV dealers that are trying to install it. The Class A motorhome that I used with the Stealth had many, many problems of its own. At the end of our only trip, we returned it for a Super C that should better suit our needs. The C has a built ininch trailer brake system. Are there any permanentinch Flat Tow systems that would utilize the towing vehicle brake actuator?

Expert Reply:
If you're asking about a supplemental braking system that would activate off of a trailer brake controller in the motorhome then there unfortunately isn't a system currently available that would do this. That being said switching over to either the Demco Stay-IN-Play # SM99251 (hydraulic brakes) or Air Force One # SM99243 (air brakes) depending on the braking type of your new Super C class motorhome would give you a more dependable permanent system.
The # SM99251 will need to tap into the brake light switch wire on your 2019 GMC Acadia, which unfortunately isn't useable so you'll need to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751483 in order to simulate this signal.
