that system is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist for me. not to mention, that system is yet another thing I'd have to keep track of. my truck can tow my trailer, the pin weight is over my rear axle, it works. having towed many tag trailers in the past, they just do not have the stability a goose/5th has.
Outline of some significant advantages of The Automated Safety Hitch system: .
- Enables you to always pull your trailer level for maximum longitudinal stability and maximum trailer braking effectiveness.
- Increases the length of your tow vehicle’s wheel base = The longer the wheel base the more control you have of your trailer.
- Adds a third independent full hydraulic braking system. The main axle has the same full hydraulic, vented disk brake system as one ton trucks.
- The Automated Safety Hitch System adds 75% of the braking capacity of a 1 ton truck to your tow vehicle.
- The Automated Safety Hitch System automatically integrates your tow vehicle’s brakes, it’s brakes and the trailer’s brakes.
- The combination of line items 4 and 5 can result in the stopping distance being shortened approximately 75%
- The Automated Safety Hitch System has the effect of shortening your trailer considerably when maneuvering.
In-depth Interview of J. Jamieson by Mark Polk in rvconsumer.com
Learn a lot about The Automated Safety Hitch System and what is important when pulling a trailer. This is of our inventor being interviewed. Please take the time to read all of it. Many people, who have been pulling trailers for many years are finding it very educational.

Testimonial: Here is the article on my website:
http://fifthwheelst.com/automated-safety-hitch-system.htm This article will be published in the July issue of the Heartland Highlights magazine. Your customers, whom I interviewed or surveyed, spoke highly of the hitch system. Now I’ve got to round up some funds to get one for myself as well. Best regards, Dave This was done by three couples who used to pull with a dually. One couple switched to a regular rear axle truck and the Automated Safety Hitch System and then two other couples, that they know, switched also. The six of them are suggesting that we also refer to the Automated Safety Hitch system as “the new in-line dually”. They have compiled a list of benefits from their experiences. If you have a dually, we want you to know that The Automated Safety Hitch System works very well with a Dually.
