I have the Blue Ox Patriot that sits on the floor and has a wireless controller to set the gain as needed. I tow either my '09 Honda CR-V or '15 Jeep Grand Cherokee so the unit moves between them. I use a charge line from the coach to the car to keep the batteries charged. Before the I bought the Renegade I really needed the unit to help stop the other RVs I owned as their brakes were not sufficient for the added weight. As was said above, I now use it to keep legal in all states. The key points are you probably need to add a battery charge line to keep the towed vehicle battery charged on those 600 - 800 mile days and the peace of mind that should it break away from the coach its brakes will be applied.
