Did you know in forty-nine of our states and all of Canada, it is a law to have a brake system in your RV Toad? So it would be best if you also obeyed these towing laws in each state, no matter where your vehicle is registered. Justin Parrot from Blue Ox towing joins us today to discuss all the benefits and features of their Blue Ox Patriot Brake.
“There are two main reasons to have an auxiliary brake system in your towed vehicle. One, it is the law, and two, it’s a safety factor. Safety for the occupants in that motorhome and the safety of everyone around them. No one ever says you’re going to have a catastrophic failure but say your tow vehicle becomes disconnected from your motorhome. The Patriot Brake breakaway device is like a travel trailer’s breakaway cable. It’s going to stop your tow vehicle that did become detached. That is why I say the number one reason is safety.”– Justin Parrot, Regional Training Specialist.
Even if you remove the safety and legal reasons for having a tow brake system in your towed vehicle, you will find benefits like increasing longevity of your vehicle because the brake system will prevent the jarring pushing of your motorhome that comes with frequent stops.
Patriot Brake Ease of Use
The Patriot Brake is easy to use and set up. However, Justin feels that the initial installation of the Patriot Brake should be done by a professional. Once that installation is complete, the Patriot Brake setup usually takes under a minute, meaning adding the brake system to your RV routine does not slow you down when you are ready to hit the road.
The Patriot Brake is all electric with no tanks or hoses. This means it will not be affected by moisture. You can also adjust the brake’s sensitivity, ensuring your stops are nice and smooth.
Justin also shares what is coming soon for their brake systems. For any of you towable RVers out there, we didn’t leave you out of the conversation because we also talked a little about their new fifth-wheel system.
