The price of the braking system is a little tough to swallow. The list below shows the items I got to prep my CR-V for towing. As you can see, the braking system was half of the cost. (I installed everything myself.)
I decided to get the braking system because I wanted to be legal and as safe as possible. It may also help reduce wear on the RV brakes. I think we have all had situations where cars move in front of you and then they hit the brakes, so you have to brake hard to avoid hitting them, so any extra brake capacity is welcome.
