Breaksafe
(Preview)
I have recently bought a second hand van, only 2 years old with GTM of 2180kg and doesn't have a breaksafe device, can anyone recommend a reputable place where I can get one fitted in Melbourne, I had a quote today for $950 but thought this was a little extreme.

Many of you know of my caravan built last year and we did a lap. Apart from a drawbar crack and reweld at Cloncurry it went well for my first van build.
