    dmack,

    Yes, it's true that you not only need a toad auxillary braking system to get into Canada, but most stated down here also require it. I would suggest the Unified Tow Brak system as it worked well on my Jeep Cherokee. Better yet is the Air Force One system that I installed when I bought the heavier Jeep Commander last year. It operates off the coach air brake system and is easy to hook up. I pull the Commander behind my '04 Newmar Dutch Star. Good luck and let me know what you decide if you would like to contact me at bsnids@cfl.rr.com

    Thanks very much for your replies folks. All your comments are appriciated, especially thanks for your kind comments from grammy8, blieve me, we feel the same way about your country and people. I will post back here sometime after I cross the border and let everyone know how it went.

    This is my first post, so forgive me if I am in the wrong spot to ask this question. I was talking to a friend of my who just returned home to Nova Scotia from Florida last weekend, and he told me about talking to other MH owners down there. The topic came up about people crossing into the United States from Canada and have been turned away by the US Border service people because they didn't have a auxiliary braking system for their toad. Does anyone know if in fact this is true? My friend wasn't towing any vehicle so he had no problem, but I was planning a trip to the United States in the next couple of weeks and I will be towing our CRV. And of course I don't want to be turned away. Purchasing a Brake Buddy or similar system will be one of the things I plan on getting when I get to the US, it will be a lot cheaper there than here in Canada, (around $1600.00 here I believe), in these economic times a person got to save whenever they can.

    If anyone can confirm or deny this, second or third hand rumor, I would like to hear from you.

    Thank you for your time
