Abstract: An auxiliary braking system and method of controlling the braking a towed vehicle is provided that includes a remote control that is in selective communication with an auxiliary braking unit positioned in a towing vehicle. More specifically, it is often desirable for the operator of the towing vehicle to assess the performance of the auxiliary braking apparatus positioned in a towed vehicle. In addition, it is often advantageous for the operator to perform real time adjustments to the performance parameters of the auxiliary braking apparatus positioned in the towing vehicle without having to cease driving and physically access the auxiliary braking device.

Abstract: A trailer hitch apparatus for mechanically and electrically coupling a towing vehicle to a towed vehicle includes: a receiver and a trailer mount. The receiver has a receiver tube with an open end; a first electrical connector having a plurality of electrical contacts for attaching to the towing vehicle electrical system; and a second electrical connector having a plurality of electrical contacts electrically connected to the plurality of electrical contacts of the first electrical connector.

Abstract: A funnel including a receiving chamber for receiving a fluid, a spout depending from a bottom portion of the receiving chamber and adapted to be placed at least partially in an opening of a receiving container for transferring the fluid from the receiving chamber to the receiving container, and a flexible support leg extending from the receiving chamber and configured to be at least partially placed in the opening of the receiving container to more securely position the spout in the opening.
