Roadmaster BrakeMaster with BrakeAway for Motorhomes with Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes

Roadmaster Tow Bars - RM-9160

BrakeMaster is connected directly to the motorhome's air brakes and activates the brakes on the towed vehicle in response to changes in the motorhome's brake line pressure. Because it connects directly to what powers your motorhome's brakes, the BrakeMaster is a truly proportional, truly synchronized braking system.

Roadmaster's BrakeMaster system significantly reduces the stopping distance needed to halt the motor home and towed vehicle while at the same time increases control.

Features:

• Works on any motorhome with air or air over hydraulic brakes
• Works on Towed Vehicles power brakes
• Will work on with or without ABS brakes
• Meets US and Canadian braking requirements
• Motorhome monitor provides a visual reference of braking activity and system performance
• Easily disconnects from the towed vehicle brake pedal allowing a quick transition from towed car to road car
• Includes a breakaway emergency braking system to stop the towed vehicle should it disconnect from the motorhome

Specs:

• Some vehicles may require a floor adapter to ease installation.
• Please Note: Installation of BrakeMaster system is very involved.

BrakeMaster is a proportional braking system

This means the brakes on the towed car are applied with approximately the same amount of pressure as applied to the motor home.
