V Brake System
The electric brakes are designed to work with the tow vehicle brakes. To maintain proper
braking performance, both the RV and tow vehicle brakes must be used together. Separate
use of the braking systems will cause accelerated wear and damage.

approximately 1,000 miles and/or 50 medium to heavy stops to “burnish” fit or “seat”

Tow vehicle battery
Brake controller
Wire harness/connector plug
Trailer battery
Breakaway switch
