And what it does is, it essentially takes the brakes on the motorhome and applies those to that on your towed vehicle. So why might you want this Well, for starters, again, it's requirement in most states and number two, it's gonna greatly reduce the strain here on your motorhome. 'Cause if you think about it when you're coming to a stop, you have this vehicle behind us, it's extra weight we're pulling and it's also extra weight that's pushing us. Therefore, by applying the brakes in our towed vehicle here, it's gonna help us come to a stop a little bit smoother and not put as much strain on your motorhome. more

Hi there, F150 owners. Today, on your 2019 Ford F150, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Demco's Air Force One supplemental braking system. This braking system is designed to work with motor homes that have air brakes and is my number one top pick for braking systems if you have air brakes. Now, if your motor home has hydraulic brakes, then I would recommend Demco's Stay-IN-Play duo. That's my top pick for a hydraulic braking motor home. But since ours has air brakes here, we've installed it on our F150 and it's gonna be a truly proportional braking system that will apply the pedal as hard as you're applying it in the motor home. more

Hey everybody, how's it going Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the road master brake light relay kit here on a 2021 Ford Escape. So a brake light relay kit is gonna be required in order to successfully flat tow this vehicle if you have a supplemental braking system. Now essentially what this is gonna do is, so when the brake lights are being applied on a towed vehicle here while we have the turn signals on on the motor home, they're gonna override those signals which is not something we want. By installing the relay here which is powered by the running light circle on the motor home. We're gonna prevent the brake lights on the towed vehicle from overriding the turn signals sent from the motor home. So there's really not much else to say about the relay, it's gonna do its job. more

Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System Installation - 2020 Ford F-150

Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're going to be going over and showing you how to install the Demco Air Force One supplemental braking system here on a 2020 Ford F150. A supplemental braking system in its most basic form, it's gonna be applying the brakes on our towed vehicle here, in an amount proportional to that of our motor home. So why this is important is, when we have larger towed vehicles here, like this truck, it's going to place additional force and strain on the motor home's brake. So we're not going to be able to come to a stop as fast. And it's also going to put additional wear and tear on the motor home's brake. So adding a supplemental braking system like the air force one, it's going to be an excellent option for both safety and longevity. more
