RV FEATURE
IT ' S LIKE MAGIC !

Modern technology . If nothing else , it has made caravanning in Australia so much easier . If it has been an issue for caravanners , someone has found a way to solve it . But until now , one problem had remained unsolved : the awkward and oftentimes difficult handbrake found on every drawbar in the country . Some are better than others , but virtually all require a certain amount of physical strength to engage properly . And to disengage the handbrake , well , that can be even tougher , since it requires you to simultaneously push a button ( excluding some models ) and lift the lever further before it releases .
So when I heard about a brand new invention that takes the physical effort out of caravan handbrakes , I was intrigued . Handbrake Assist literally does the work for you . I tell you what , watching a caravan handbrake lever lift and engage itself , as if by magic , is something else . But how does it work ?
INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE
First , Handbrake Assist is the result of a joint venture between Equipment Link and RV Electronics , which introduced the digital water level Indicator to the Australian RV industry many years ago , among various other products made in its manufacturing facility in South Australia .
