Product Details
Universal Air Force One™ 2nd Vehicle Kit for Supplemental Braking System by SMI®. Air Force One is the only air brake system that energizes the towed vehicle's power brakes through a patented process that does not require an electronic vacuum pump. In fact, Air Force One has no moving parts to wear out at all. Air Force One is truly an advance in towed-vehicle braking technology: proportionate, progressive, gentle, user friendly, and fits every towed vehicle with no modifications. Designed for diesel motor homes with air brakes, AFO is the smallest, most effective braking system available.
First thank you for seeking more information about SMI® company. SMI® Manufacturing, Inc is now owned operated by 3 generations of avid RV'ers with towing miles approaching 1,000,000. SMI® Manufacturing, Inc was founded in 1996 by John Schuck and his son Peter. While there are many methods available to apply the brakes in a vehicle being towed, there are only a few that are 100% reliable. SMI® philosophy and belief is that the vehicle being towed should have the brakes applied exactly as if it were being driven. This means that the power brakes must be active and that the brake pedal must move. By using the power brakes, pedal pressure requirements are reduced to 12 - 15 pounds. Without power assist, pedal pressure must exceed 60 - 70 pounds just to slow the vehicle. This is just not an acceptable solution and totally unnecessary given the SMI® systems available today.
