the brake pedal engages—not simply when the
actuator arm extends from the brake case.
These features mean Apollo delivers a more accurate
and reliable stop, with improved recognition of
unexpected developments. It does not affect your
towed vehicle’s Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS),
ride brakes down steep grades, or wear brakes more
than normal use.
With Apollo you get instinctive features adding
safety and convenience—like gauges and controls
that are conveniently located
with improved visibility and
access. Apollo meets SAE
governmental specification
and protects your towed
vehicle from a wiring or fuse
overload. Just plug it into the
12-volt accessory outlet.
After your towed vehicle’s
brakes are engaged, an
optional Wireless Remote
Indicator transmits a
signal back to your RV and
illuminates a dash-mounted light to let you know
the braking system is activated.
Apollo also contains a high-quality surge suppressor
to avoid unwanted braking on bumpy roads,
bridges, or railroad tracks. For fine adjustments,
Apollo offers sensitivity settings for your driving
style and environment. For breakaway situations,
Apollo provides an optional system that meets or
exceeds all requirements in the United States and
Canada.
When it comes to braking, a
second can be the difference
between a sure stop and an
accident. Be assured Apollo®
will apply the towed car’s
brakes - helping bring the
motorhome to a stop more
quickly and efficiently.

Your RVs brakes are designed to stop your RV safely
and effectively. However, when adding the weight of
a towed vehicle, brakes can become overburdened
and fade or fail. This is why the Apollo braking
system from Blue Ox is such an important accessory
for RVs when towing a second vehicle.
It activates your towed vehicle’s brake pedal,
removing the entire weight of the vehicle from your
motor home’s stressed brakes. This means your RV
is better able to stop quickly and efficiently.
Apollo makes advanced
braking simple. When you
apply pressure to your motor
home’s brakes, the Apollo
analyzes the braking in a
fraction of a second.
Install the Apollo in only a
few short steps. It requires
no electrical or mechanical
connections to the motor
home. Apollo contains
everything you need in one
convenient unit—including
an air pressure gauge and an air pressure regulator
that gets power from your 12-volt accessory outlet.
Transfer the Apollo easily between vehicles. It’s
small, lightweight and fully adjustable.
Apollo uses digital technology. This means when
you begin your stop, Apollo can engage your towed
vehicle’s brakes quickly - within 1/4 to 1/2 of a
second.
Apollo transmits an engagement signal only when
