“My dog hit the emergency brake, which of course released it, and my motorhome rolled across the In & Out Burger parking lot right into the trash enclosure causing $10,000 worth of damage!”

Our first reaction upon hearing this was that this man was lucky his motorhome did not kill anyone!  Because we travel often with our dogs in the motorhome, this became a topic of concern.

We then began noticing many other accounts in the news:

• A child pushes the emergency brake on a school bus full of children, causing the bus to roll down the highway.
• At an RV rally, a child climbs into a motorhome and pushes the emergency brake, causing the vehicle to roll downhill into a trolley full of people.
• During a mutual aid fire fighting effort, an object within the cab of a Fire Engine falls on the emergency parking brake causing the vehicle to roll off a cliff.

. . . . And the stories keep coming.

Carl began working on ideas to solve the problem, but most were too complicated and/ or too expensive to produce . . . until the development of "Air Brake Plunger Securing Device."  The Device is easy to use to prevent accidental release of the emergency brake, and the Master Lock is an added feature that can be used to help deter theft of the vehicle (only included in "L" models). Absolute Brake's Air Brake Plunger Securing Device provides added security when your vehicle is unattended!
