I had the Brakemaster 9000 installed in my jeep and although it works very well, I am kicking myself that I didn’t go with the Airforce One system. It seems to be much more elegant and hidden.
Here’s a picture of the mechanism that “pushes” the brake pedal. It is mounted to the brackets that fasten the drivers seat to the frame. Since the jeep has power brakes, you can imaging how hard the brake pedal must be pushed when the jeep isn’t running.
The system requires a small modification to your air brakes on the coach. There is a quick connect on the back of the coach and the same on the front of the toad.
When I press the brakes in the coach, the brakemaster places equal pressure on the jeep brakes. I’ve tested it with someone walking next to the toad and it seems to work just fine. Sounds simple enough but I would definitely recommend getting a competent RV tech to install this for you. Rumor has it, if you are entering Canada and you don’t have a braking system, they will not let you enter the country pulling a toad.
