Re: Towing H3 behind motorhome?
There is no easy, or for that matter, a practical way to energize the braking system. Brake Buddy has says to call them if you have Elecro-Hydraulic brakes. I have read a LOT about the use of Brake Buddy on the Hummers. Most cite ruined tires, warped rotors, burned out brakes, etc. Sort of like the old adage....That Rattle Snake never bit me until today and I had picked him up a LOT of times.
The US Gear Tow Brake System is the only one that I have found, when looking at the commonly used system, that will properly work on an H3 Hummer.
I have towed my Hummer about 4500 miles now, in all types of terrain and settings. It has worked flawlessly.
Follow the instructions and install it so that ONLY the Service Brake (the MH's FOOT BRAKE" energizes it. If your MH has an Exhaust or Jake or Enginer Retarder Brake, THAT system PROBABLY activates your MH Brake Lights. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS SIGNAL.
You want the Brake Pedal Brake Light SWITCH Signal. US Gear tells you how to find this signal and if you need a Diode. Most Newer MH's are wired or prewired for Braking Systems. The "Brake Signal" is ONLY from the Service Brakes...not the other system.
SMI, a very good vendor, does NOT discuss Electro Hydraulic system...so US Gear is the one that I chose and have not regretted it.
