   Finally got it all together and took it out for a spin today.  All I can   
   say is I'm very happy I went with this route.  Everything I used is Blue   
   Ox stuff.  Tow Bar, Base Plates, wiring harness, and Patriot Brake all   
   Blue Ox materials.   
      
   It takes about 10-15 minutes to get the tow bar on the vehicle, hook up   
   the TOAD, put it in tow mode, and insert the Patriot Brake.  It takes my   
   brother longer just to put his vehicle on his tow dolly.  Unhooking it   
   is effortless, just reverse procedure.   
      
   It bought the locking hitch pins and the tow bar folds over and can be   
   left right on the RV when you get to the site.  I also bought the cover   
   for it to keep the weather off it and perhaps hide it so people don't   
   consider stealing it.  It's locked anyway, but there are fools who will   
   surely try out there.   
      
   When driving, it has an RF in coach controller that monitors the brake   
   and will tell you if it loses power, when and if the brakes are   
   actuated, and also allows you to manually activate them if say you were   
   in icy conditions and saw the TOAD coming alongside you (hope that never   
   happens).   
      
   All things considered, Blue Ox hit a home run with this setup in my   
   opinion.  Cost was $3256, plus a couple extra things and wiring stuff, I   
   got it all done for under $3500.
