How does the ready stop work?
When you brake while towing a vehicle behind an RV, stopping distance is increased due to the weight of the vehicle and it's momentum pushing against the RV. The ReadyBrake uses this energy to compress a shock and spring inside it which allows an actuator arm to smoothly move forward, pulling down your towed vehicle brake pedal with an attached cable. It takes a few hundred pounds of pressure to activate the ReadyBrake, so the towed vehicle will follow the RV down a steep mountain grade only applying brakes when you do. After initial install, only an adjustable sling cable is used to connect or disconnect the ReadyBrake. NSA RV recommend leaving about 2 inches of slack in the adjustable sling cable to keep the brake from activating while going over dips like at a gas station. When the RV comes to a complete stop the ReadyBrake actuator arm stays in the forward position continuing to hold the towed vehicle brake pedal down until the RV moves forward a couple of inches to disengage it. Use of the ReadyBrake can proportionally decrease stopping distance by upwards of 30%.
NSA RV Products® is a trusted manufacturer of towing products such as hitches, tow bars, and supplemental brake systems. The company was started by Neil Westervelt under the name 'Night Shift Auto' in 1996. At first, NSA RV Products made aluminum racing reduction pulleys for race cars. In time, more products were offered; for instance, the Ready Brute tow bar. In 2008, Night Shift Auto was sold to its founder's son, Tod Westervelt, and renamed 'NSA RV Products' since the company was no longer producing race car parts. Now the company also offers hitch extensions, De-Rattlers, and De-Fusers. NSA RV Products recently opened an RV parts and service store due to its rapid growth.
