Roadmaster BrakeMaster with BrakeAway for Motor Homes with Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes - Chevrolet Silverado, 2011
BrakeMaster connects directly to your motor home's air brakes and activates the brakes on your towed car in response to changes in the motor home's brake line pressure. It is a truly proportional, truly synchronized braking system.
Features:
- Supplemental braking system activates brakes on towed Chevrolet Silverado when you engage RV's brakes
- Connects to RV's air or air-over-hydraulic brakes to sense when and how those brakes are applied
- Applies brakes in towed car at same time and with same intensity as brakes are applied in RV
- Ensures synchronized, reliable braking
- BrakeAway device brings towed car to a controlled stop in the event of a separation
- LED display mounts in motor home to alert you when the Chevrolet Silverado's brake pedal is being depressed
- Compact, lightweight cylinder is easy to connect, disconnect and store
- Custom seat bracket (sold separately) may be required for proper positioning
- Made in the USA
Specs:
- Application:
- Motor homes with air or air-over-hydraulic brakes
- Towed cars with power brakes - with or without ABS
- Cylinder length: approximately 2'
Perhaps the best supplemental braking system on the market, BrakeMaster offers truly proportional, synchronized braking by connecting directly to your RV's brakes. The air cylinder that attaches to your towed car's brake pedal applies your Chevrolet Silverado's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as you apply the brakes in the RV. Not having preset braking speeds means that your towed car will brake with just the right intensity, allowing for more controlled stopping and preventing excessive wear on its brakes.
The BrakeMaster system works with almost any RV that has air or air-over-hydraulic brakes and can fit nearly any car, although a seat adapter (sold separately) may be required for installation on certain applications. Because BrakeMaster connects directly to your RV's brakes, installation is involved and requires an advanced mechanical background.
