When you’re towing, it’s important to know that your supplemental braking system is doing its job. The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit activates your RV’s monitoring system whenever the towed car’s brake pedal is actually pressed. Unlike systems that only sense air cylinder movement, this kit gives you true pedal feedback so you can immediately see that the brakes are being applied and working properly. That peace of mind helps prevent towing with a misaligned or malfunctioning brake system.
Improperly installed or constantly engaged braking systems can cause serious wear or damage to your towed vehicle’s tires and brake components. This kit helps you avoid that by showing exactly when the pedal is being depressed. If the system happens to press on the brake when it shouldn’t, you’ll know right away. That means you can fix the problem before it leads to costly repairs. It’s a simple safeguard that helps keep your setup safe and your towed vehicle in good condition.
The kit wires directly into your towed car’s fuse box for a constant current supply and dependable 12-volt operation. That steady power ensures consistent monitoring signals every time the brakes are applied. For setups that don’t have a “tow” ignition position, this direct wiring keeps the system active and accurate without interruption. Once installed, it just works whenever you need it—no extra switches or complicated connections to manage.
Users mention that the kit fits well and the included instructions make it easy to install. The parts align cleanly and can be padded or slightly adjusted where needed for the perfect fit. Once in place, it becomes a low-maintenance part of your towing setup that quietly does its job trip after trip.
Flat towing can be a much more convenient way to take your car RVing with you than using a trailer or a tow dolly. It'll save you storage space both at home and at the campsite, and it takes less time and hassle to hook up.
To flat tow your vehicle, there are 5 basic components you're going to need: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a flat tow braking system.
| For the RV | Between the RV and Towed Car | For the Towed Car |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch | Tow bar | Base plate |
| Wiring plug | Safety cables | Braking system |
| Wiring adapter cord | Wiring kit/diodes |
The custom-fit base plate installs on the frame of your toad so you can connect the car to your RV with a tow bar. Hook up safety cables between the vehicles to ensure that the toad does not separate from the motorhome if the tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring syncs your vehicle's signal lights with your motorhome's tail lights, as required by law in most states. Finally, the flat tow braking system - also required in most states - activates the brakes in the toad when you hit the brakes in the RV, making for smoother, safer braking, and preventing wear on your motorhome.
