Other great features include; an out of site installation with most of the system located under the hood, 100% proportional braking, fits all towed vehicles including the newest "live" pedal cars and an approved air tap method so you will not affect the warranty on your air brakes, Includes operating unit, coach air connection assembly, break-away system, actuating cylinder, complete hardware kit, airlines & instructions in print & DVD.
Features
SMI Air Force One Braking System - AFO0108 
  • Uses air from the coach's air brakes to activate the power brakes of the towed vehicle. 
  • Towed vehicle brakes are in direct proportion with the coach 
  • Operating unit mounts under the hood of the towed vehicle, completely out of sight. 
  • Once installed, the system is always ready for towing with no set up or take down. 
  • Total Coach Protection exclusively with Air Force One is a process that protects the air supply on the coach.
  • Air Force One is the safest air brake system available. 
  • Easy to view Coach Notification, letting you know when the system is operating. 
Since the Air Force One Brake System uses the coach's air to create vacuum for the towed vehicle’s power-brakes, it does not need an electric pump. In fact, the Air Force One operating unit has no moving parts at all. The only moving part is the brake actuator which mounts on the brake arm and firewall, out of the way and out of site. 

A concern user may have with the Air Force One brake system is the connection to the motorhomes air brake system. But SMI eliminates any fears with a device they call Total Coach Protection. With this safety device installed the coach’s air supply is sealed off to allow the coach to stop normally in the case of a break-away. At the same time the coach is protected, the breakaway system on the car activates the towed-vehicle’s brakes. 

Air Force One is a revolutionary braking system that will apply proportional braking effort in your towed vehicle. An easy installation combined with vacuum-assisted power brakes and truly proportionate braking effort makes the Air Force One Braking System a leader in towed vehicle brake systems.

Successful Installation by my RV Dealer. April 2, 2012
Reviewer: James Dixon from Worcester, PA United States  
I had my RV dealer install my Air Force One brake system on my new Ford Explorer, along with tow brackets.  Everything went well, I have only towed car home after install, but everything worked very well.  Mellott Brothers was impressed with system and said that they would recommend to others.

SMI AFO Install July 14, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Williamsburg, VA United States  
I recently purchased the SMI AFO supplemental braking system.  I installed the equipment myself on my Honda Fit and my Tiffin coach.  Both installs were explained in the documentation and the video received.  My background is in aircraft maintenance and I understand mechanics well, but I still contacted the tech support for assurance that what I was doing was correct.  I would put the difficult rating at a solid 6.5 for install and I probably spent seven hours on the car install and another 5 on the coach.  The car install was very tight, but doable. I decided to accomplish the install myself after reading the instructions and determining that the most work was the car and not the coach.  Initial checkout was a breeze and simple to accomplish.

The perfect braking system June 8, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
Positives:  Truly proportional braking, maintenance free, fits all vehicles, protects RV’s air supply if an issue occurs, improves stopping distance considerably. Negatives: Involves about 4-6 hours of installation time.  Summary:  We love this braking system! If your RV has air brakes and you plan to tow more than a few times a year, look no further, this is the system you need to purchase. We have had this in evaluation for 4 years and it has performed flawlessly. The towed vehicle brakes proportionally with the rv, you would never know the vehicle is back there when it comes to braking.   Connecting and disconnecting the system when towing is fast and very easy, simply plug in the air hose which has quick connect fittings, connect breakaway landyard and plug in electrical cable.  The only coomponent that is inside the vehicle is the small air cylinder that activates the brake pedal, once installed you will never know it is there.  Most of your time on the installation is spent running hoses and wires to the specified locations.
