Put one on the truck and in the RV, then I read the directions that said they have a bracket that you can take it out of one and plug into the other like a GPS ! I didn't need to buy two of them. Oh well they are the best out there right now and I can't believe how much smoother the braking is now! Jim

We use the Draw Tite Digital for our stuff and sell them on new trucks. Work Well, not too expensive. Someone posted about the brakes. We change them every two years regardless; turn the drums and the magnet side of the drum, cut it like a disc brake, cheap, each whell 12 X 2 backing plate, magnet, shoes assembled are about 40bucks. The Draw Tite seems to work on 3 axle and commercial use also. Less than 100, about 80 I think.
