Towed Vehicle Braking Systems
The digital advantage. Apollo uses digital, rather than the traditional analog, communications. That means when you begin your stop, Apollo engages your towed vehicle’s brakes within 1/4 to 1/2 of a second, instead of an analog delay of up to 3 seconds. And when it comes to braking, a second can be the difference between a safe stop and an accident.
Your
RV’s brakes were designed to stop your RV safely and effectively. But when
the weight of a towed vehicle is added, brakes can become overburdened and fade
or fail. That’s why the Apollo™ Braking System, is such an important
accessory for RVs used to tow a second vehicle.
Apollo is an easy-to-use supplemental braking system. It activates your towed
vehicle’s brake pedal, removing the entire weight of the vehicle from your
coach’s stressed brakes. And that means your RV is better able to stop
quickly, efficiently and most importantly, safely.
Advanced braking made simple.
When you apply pressure to your coach’s brakes the Apollo Unit analyzes the
braking, in a fraction of a second, which applies pressure to the brake pedal.
Once your towed vehicle’s brakes are engaged, an Alert System (optional)
transmits a signal back to your coach and illuminates a dash-mounted light to
let you know the system is activated.
Apollo also contains a high-quality surge suppressor to avoid unwanted braking
on bumpy roads, bridges or railroad tracks. For fine adjustments, Apollo offers
eight sensitivity positions to fit your driving style and environment. And for
breakaway situations, Apollo contains system that meets or exceeds all
requirements in the United States and Canada.
T minus three minutes.
The Apollo Braking System can be installed in about three minutes. It requires
no electrical or mechanical connections to your RV. There are no alterations to
your towed vehicle. No holes to drill, no wires to splice and no brackets to
mount. Apollo contains everything you need in one convenient unit–including an
air compressor with gauge and regulator–that gets power from your cigarette
lighter.
Apollo is also easily transferable between vehicles. It’s small, lightweight
and fully adjustable, so it can accommodate the different needs of a wide range
of RVs and towed vehicles. In short, the Apollo Braking System is one of the
most versatile, convenient and easy-to-use braking systems on the market today.
The Apollo Braking System brings together the industry's latest technology with
proven supplemental braking standards. Together they deliver a truly unique and
advanced braking system, designed to ensure you get a safe, fast and reliable
stop - time after time.
Brakes stop vehicles.
Apollo transmits an engagement signal only when the brake pedal engages, not
simply when the cylinder extends from the brake box. Together these benefits
mean Apollo delivers a more accurate and reliable stop, with improved
recognition of unexpected developments, like brake pedals that stick.
Intuitive features and design.
Apollo gives you the freedom to tow up to four days without concern for your
towed vehicle’s battery. It will not affect your towed vehicle’s Anti-Lock
Braking System (ABS), ride brakes down steep grades or wear brakes more than
normal use.
With Apollo you simply get instinctive features that add safety and convenience,
like gauges and controls that are conveniently located for improved visibility
and access.
