Roadmaster InvisiBrake Flat Tow Brake System - Preset
The braking system and the lights are working, one year after I bought them. However, I am towing a 2016 Keep Patriot, and about 2_500 miles after install, the system started making an annoying clicking noise when I enter the Patriot, which stops after about 10 seconds and then starts up again, usually a minute or so later, for another 10 or 15 seconds. etrailer first said that they had never heard of.such a thing, then said that there are otherwise comments for Keep Patriot owners on forums. Still have no.fix. Also, at first I did not know that to store the tow bar, it must be pulled up so that the post fitting can moe to the position where it fits into the hole.in the smaii yellow bracket, which works well when used correctly. And store the coiled.wide in your tower vehicle.to prevent corrosion which will interfere with its function.
I installed the InvisiBrake on my 2019 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback with the great help from my wife. Everything worked fine with the exception of the dash mounted light in the Coach. The light never would illuminate even though the brake was working perfectly. Spent many hours on the phone with Roadmaster tech service personnel. I finally gave up after hours of troubleshooting and installed a Roadmaster Brake Lite Switch. Problem solved, so I thought. Worked well for a couple thousand miles and then it didn't. I bought a new Brake Lite Switch which is yet to be installed. The InvisiBrake installation on the Fiesta is tricky because the firewall is completely covered with parts and wires. I was able to locate an area where a wiring harness exited and run all wires and vacuum line along side the harness. The InvisiBrake is mounted under the driver seat toward the back. I use a small mirror from the back seat floor to read the dial on the face of the InvisiBrake when I want to check the pressure.

Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Preset
This was a tight fit in my 2001 Wrangler. The seat has to be all the way back. I also had to remove my weather tech floor mat and put in a 3/4” board to raise the front legs more than fully extended. It seems to be working fine now, I just towed it from Santa Fe, NM to Tucson, AZ with no issues. I ordered the battery charge line kit and the breakaway kit. I found it bothersome that all used different color wires for positive, ground etc.
Installation was a bit challenging, but the ETrailer viedos were great to get me through the harder areas. The brake Buddie works great, though becase of my Jeep configuration (notmuch room) it is somewhat difficult with the linkage but I'm getting better hooking it up with experience. Happy with purchase. THANKS for asking. AL
