Pros
  • Stays hidden in the car, so there is nothing to set up before each tow
  • Trickle charges the car battery at up to 2 A while towing
  • Breakaway and a motorhome monitor come in the box
  • Lifetime warranty when bought from an authorized dealer
Cons
  • Progressive, not proportional, so braking force does not follow the motorhome exactly
  • Needs a permanent install in each car
