Re: What towd braking sytsem would you go with? Reply #50 – August 18, 2021, 05:55:11 pm How does that mount to the floor of the tow vehicle? I see the square tubing with the holes, but what keeps it in place? Quote Selected
Re: What towd braking sytsem would you go with? Reply #51 – August 18, 2021, 06:15:41 pm We only believe in Blue Ox baseplate with the only two circle attachment points. Just look at tow vehicles with Blue Ox baseplate with small inserts removed: hard to know there is a baseplate behind the grill.Look a Roadmaster where most do not remove the large knee banger with attachment points. Ugly, bulky and easily damaged by someone banging into it in a parking lot.Blue Ox baseplate can be used with any tow bar, but the Blue Ox 10,000 lb towbar is good towbarLooks like you have found your own brake system, but think you are overstating that it is easy to move from tow vehicle to another tow vehicle. The air piston is something that we use, except we have a home made low cost system. Where you tap your motorhome air brake line can be problematic. Quote Selected

There is an adapter plate that attaches to the front seat. They do not have one for my vehicle, but my fab shop will put a steel plate from bolt to bolt with a hook that the clevis from the Brakemaster will attach. It will look like this https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Roadmaster/RM-88316.html Quote Selected

Roadmaster does offer a 2nd vehicle setup https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Roadmaster/RM-98160.html With this installed, you just have to move the inside piece that attaches to the seat/brake pedal. If I had to move it all, yes that would be more intensive, but with just the inside piece, it should not be more than a few minutes I would think. Quote Selected
