The RB-4000 (Ready Brake) auxiliary brake is a fully mechanical, hitch-mounted, surge-style supplemental braking system for a towed vehicle (dinghy). It works using the momentum of the towed vehicle pushing towards the motor-home during braking to mechanically activate the towed car's brake pedal via a cable system.
Key features:
1. Operation: It provides instant and fully proportional braking for the towed vehicle without relying on any electrical, vacuum, or air components for its primary function.
2. Compatibility: It is designed to work with any standard 2-inch receiver hitch and most hitch-mounted tow bars and towed vehicles.
Simplicity: The purely mechanical design offers a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution for auxiliary braking.
3. Monitoring: The system includes a dash light that illuminates in the motorhome when the towed vehicle's brakes are applied, allowing the driver to monitor its operation from the coach.
4. Capacity: The unit has an 8,000 lbs towing capacity
