    I tow a jeep wrangler and Im planning a trip to the mountains.  Has anyone used the wireless braking system?  Blue ox Patriot 3 radio freq or the Demco Stay-n-play wireless coach link or brake buddy

    Demco Stay In Play is an amazing system especially for extended braking on hills etc.  Other systems will time out and turn off the toad brake controller after so many seconds, or the inertia types may brake inadvertently when you are using your exhaust brake or other ways to slow down without braking.

    Thanks for that. I had seen this model but was unfamiliar with it. About to pull trigger on the blue ox patriot since I have blue ox stuff now and was pleased with it. I’ll give Demco another look

    thanks

    I have a Discovery 39F and tow a Canyon with my Harley on it and use the RVIBrake 3 system. Works great and does not have problems with engine brake. Much quicker reaction time when braking is applied as the pedal actuator uses compressed air.

    I has a command centre tablet that you mount on your dash that monitors the tow vehicle function. You can see the brakes being applied. 

    This is a portable system that is easily transferred between vehicles,

    I suggest adding this one to your list for consideration.
