Based on my research before buying something a year+ ago - the Blue Ox Patriot and Roadmaster Brake Buddy both operate a 'dead pedal' - no power assist... You must release any vacuum (pump the brake a couple of times) if the engine ran recently to allow it to properly calibrate.
I chose Roadmaster Invisibrake - an option that uses the toad's power brakes - providing the needed vacuum... powered by the toad - which is being recharged from the MH by the same unit...
Sounds like the Unified Tow Brake also provides the needed vacuum (if the toad needs it - some use a different system now - Hydroboost - which uses an electric pump instead of vacuum.).
