Perhaps the best supplemental braking system on the market, BrakeMaster offers truly proportional, synchronized braking by connecting directly to your RV's air or air-over-hydraulic brakes. The air cylinder that attaches to your towed vehicle's brake pedal can apply your car's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as you apply to the brakes in the RV. Not having pre-set braking speeds means that your towed vehicle will stop at just the right intensity, allowing for better control and preventing excessive wear on its brakes.

Universal application works with almost any RV having hydraulic brakes and can fit nearly any car, although a seat adapter may be required for installation in certain vehicles. Because BrakeMaster connects directly to your RV's air or air-over-hydraulic brakes, installation is quite involved and requires an advanced mechanical background.

• What Are the Different Supplemental Braking Options when Flat Towing a Vehicle
  
• There are a few different options for supplemental braking that you can use when flat towing the vehicle. The systems I recommend are what are called Portable Proportional Systems. One example is the Even Brake, # RM-9400. A proportional system works like a proportional brake controller would. It applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. We actually have a handy FAQ article
