Yes, I'm still interested in more info on your invisibrake installation. It turns out I'm really slow at getting this set up, but I am actually pretty close to that point. It has been a long complete rebuild of my LX450 including engine rebuild, paint, new interior, etc, etc... Just wrapping up the interior this weekend, then I'll be working on the front hitch hook up and a braking system. Any help you can give would be awesome.
I had the brake installed by a local shop. However, when I replaced my seats i did take pictures of it. I'll see if i can find them. I will be equipping another Cruiser with the same system. This time on an FJ62 provided i can flat tow it. Have not fully dove into that project at this point....still have to pick up the truck.
It's worked like a charm since finding out it's towable with T/C in neutral. Over 10K miles towed - only thing different would be to have a more capable tow rig - like a diesel pusher motorhome. My F350 powerstroke does ok but with the 11' Lance aboard & towing the 80 - it's pretty much at it's limit. Flat ground and down hill I can hold 75 mph, but uphill it has to work pretty hard. Gone through a few gallons of diesel this side of the country

Very few if any diesel pushers can tow what a modern Powerstroke can even if the Powerstroke has a camper on the back.

Would not have expected that. My '97 F350 is not a dually, which is less stable. Plus it's 4WD which, by the data rating anyway, makes it even less stable. It would seem that the pushers would at least be more stable since most are duallies. And I've not looked at engines, but it would seem that most owners would be towing something so the engineers should have factored that in. I'll have to be extremely careful and do my research if I ever move in that direction. Thanks for the heads up!
Ill ping you. My Seneca went on the market a couple of days ago.
Rock it man, love the tiffin. One day

Was 2021 a great year? Not exactly! But we did have some posts that did good traffic. Take a walk down memory lane with us, as we think back on 2021, a year that will seem much better by this time in 2022.
The accompanying article has some good information.

But, seriously, as @SHREG suggests, it pays to double or triple check before hitting the road. My issue (more than once) has been with the ignition key. If you don't get it to where the steering wheel is out of the locked position, you can end up with the front wheels sliding - instead of rolling as they should. (Makes a horrible squealing noise - Ask me how I know)
