Do we really need a braking system in our toads?

There is always risk. Most risk to those that needed that 50 ft and did not equip, so......

I do not depend on the BB, and the pressure is set just fine. I always allow more than twice the...

Do we really need a braking system in our toads?

Right on all points.
My rig is 37K + 5K toad, and when my 13 YO Brake Buddy engages I can feel it do so. Is it my extremely hi-tech system 😉 or my perceptive ability?
Some like to live on the...

I agree!
I did not strike a child because of aux brakes. I stopped just in time. Without aux, well, I dont want to think about it!
The vast majority of us have aux. It is basic physics for the...

Just a ponder....
It would be interesting to know if folks that "chipped" or in other ways spent $ and increased the HP of their MH also take advantage of ways to increase braking force.
If not,...

Do we really need a braking system in our toads?

If it just a matter of choice, my choice was very simple. I like stopping in much less distance. There was no speculation, rumor, half truth, or advertising hype involved.
No children were harmed...

I dont have all of the answers.
I only know I stopped much sooner and the child was not struck, nor injured, nor killed.
There was nothing for me to rationalize.
Some simply prefer and accept...

There is not even a fine line between a philosphy that has not included logical thought nor social concience, and something that is not a philosophy but simply good common sense.

Do we really need a braking system in our toads?

My BrakeBuddy is a gorilla. If it had vac assist (engine running) it would lock up the brakes real hard.
In panic stops it stops me in at least 15% less distance than I can with the MH alone. I can...

Do we really need a braking system in our toads?

Because I chose to not flaunt the laws and use aux braking, I was able to stop early enough to not strike the child and, as a bonus, did not face criminal charges. I have covered as many "what-ifs"...

There is a kid on a bike that is alive because I could stop in a much shorter distance. Nuff said.
