Personal preference maybe... but why I chose what I did.
The Invisibrake is just the normal umbilical to the MH.. one additional wire attached along that for the monitor light on dash of MH, and of course the break away cable... Invisibrake takes care of charging the toad battery as well. All out of sight under the drivers seat of my Wrangler.

GMC, I thought the same thing before I dug a little deeper into the Stay In Play. It doesn't brake solely off of inertia; it is wired so that it detects when the brakes are actually applied in the motor home. Once the MH brakes are applied, it uses inertia to determine how much brake is needed. It will not brake unless the brake pedal is applied by the MH driver. Plus, it has a LED light that mounts on the back side of the toad rear view mirror (that you can easily see with your MH's rear view camera) that tells you when it is applying the toad brakes. I've read where some owners have extended the wiring to mount the LED in the cab of the MH. Regardless, it is one slick little system!
