Brake Buddy Emergency cable

[Waggy]

I just purchased a Brake Buddy Classic system. I believe it is a classic but not 100% sure. It is missing the emergency cable. Can some one tell me if I can make one?

Assuming your BrakeBuddy has the jack or connector for the break-away feature then, yes, the cable is a simple thing to arrange.

But first you need a switch which is typically mounted near the front bumper of the toad. The switch is designed for this use in that it has a plunger that is connected via a mechanical, non-electrical cable to the coach. So if the toad comes loose from the coach the plunger is pulled out of the switch which allows contacts to close. There is a two-conductor cable that goes from the above mentioned switch to the BrakeBuddy unit itself. Go to BrakeBuddy's web site for manuals and a product support contact.

I had a BrakeBuddy Vantage and liked it. The main disadvantage was what to do with it when not in use.

FWIW

I'd suggest you call brake buddy - this is from the BB website.

Any standard breakaway switch and cable will work just fine. Just add the proper connectors (mine uses a banana plug) to the BB end.

Where on this forum do I go to post the sale of a complete Brake Buddy system??? I've looked all over and can't find a classified section...
