Dingy Brakes Al Vanek 1-30-02  
Hi,
I never towed a car before and I suddenly find myself prunking down a lot of cash for something that I know very little about. A local store sells the Brakemaster brake system. A different store has Brake Buddy I also see a lot more types in what I,ve read. One thing for sure, THEY'RE NOT CHEAP!!
Please give me some advice. I have a 27' Class C with hydraulic brakes and I'll be towing a Saturn. Thanks for your help.

I know its not the safest, but I tow either a Honda or a Saturn I did with a 27 class A and now a 32 class A and have never had problems not using extra braking. I use a tow dolly

Most states have trailer/tow vehicle brake laws and required in Canada. I use the Brake Buddy because it is easy to install and use and switch to another vehicle. Only brakes when the motorhome brakes heavy. The break away adds security if the car comes loose from the motorhome. Most other systems have high dollar installation requirements.
