Roadmaster Flat Tow Brake System - RM-751497

  • Stop Light Switch
  • Roadmaster

Avoid damage to your vehicle by ensuring that your supplemental braking system is properly positioned and working effectively. Kit activates your RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.


Features:

  • Activates motorhome brake-monitoring system whenever brake pedal in towed car is applied
    • Ensures that the supplemental braking system is functioning properly
  • Works great for any application that does not have a tow position in the ignition
  • Wires directly into towed car's fuse box for constant current
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Application: custom fit for your vehicle
  • 12 Volts


This kit allows your RV's monitoring system to alert you whenever the brake pedal of your towed car is being applied. Other systems operate according to whether the air cylinder is extended and provide no indication of what is happening with the pedal itself. If your supplemental braking system is improperly installed, it may be continuously pressing on the pedal, impeding it from fully retracting and possibly causing damage to your vehicle's tires and braking system. With Roadmaster's Stop Light Switch Kit, you will always know when the brake is being depressed, and you will avoid costly damage.

If you can give me some info about why you had a poor experience with this product I am happy to help you!



by:

Worked and fit well



by:

Works as described



by:

Good product



by:

It’s great! Easy set up!



by:

The mechanism to adjust the switch is cumbersome. Once you get it installed it is difficult to dial it in. Also found the terminals which connect to the wires to be flimsy. I'm worried they will break with further movement.



by:

All the parts I purchased to setup our tow vehicle are working as expected.



by:

Works as advertised. Thankful that you had a part that the OEM had discontinued



by:

Very quick shipping and it was exactly what I need



by:

The bracket was good. The shipping to Alaska is terrible. The part could have been shipped USPS for a lot less. I don't understand why you wouldn't use the US Postal Service.



by:

All the Roadmaster components are good quality.



by:

Direction gives option of tow different ways to supply power. One is by using the supply fuse tap. The directions states that the inline fuse holder can be used. No inline fuse holder provided.



by:

The stop light switch kit I bought for my 2022 Gladiator was a good match. Easy to install and out of sight. I would recommend this product.



by:

This the correct Roadmaster stop light switch and bracket for a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with the electronic control boxes under the steering wheel behind the panel. This installation of the bracket and light switch was easy. It helps to watch the installation videos a few times as well.



by:

As usual, Etrailer delivers. Prompt delivery and exactly what was needed to finish up the roadmaster brake install on our Jeep Gladiator

Still working great. Was very quick shipping and installed easily.



by:

Fit was perfect. I dropped one star because the terminals on the switch are fragile and can short out easily. I wrapped one side in electoral tape and secure the wires with zip ties so they don’t pull out. All easy best practices anyway.



by:

Fast shipping



by:

The product itself is great, but I’m missing a part that I ordered.

Worked perfect for a 2024 Jeep Gladiator.



by:

Overall I decided the Roadmaster Even Brake was just too cumbersome, too many items to deal with and too many wires and gadgets, like this stoplight switch...

So I bought the RVibrake it is far simpler and includes a wireless brake away switch - it takes about a minute to set up each time - it is the best I have seen.



by:

Installed it on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. I had bend the bracket slightly to ensure the button was pressed evenly. Otherwise, works as it should.

  • What Do I Need to Flat Tow a 2023 Jeep Gladiator
    hey, Chuck! Happy to help out here! Since you already have a Blue Ox tow bar I'd stick with getting another Blue Ox base plate, part # BLU53FR. This works if you have a factory plastic bumper, Mojave, Rubicon with factory plastic or steel bumper. If your Gladiator is equipped with D-rings that are flat tow rated you can use part # BX88358 for 1" D-rings or part # BX88357 for 7/8" D-rings. It sounds like you also want all the other parts so I'll list the rest of the parts below for ya....

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2022 Jeep Gladiator
    Hi Randy, For your 2022 Jeep Gladiator I have the following flat towing component recommendations: Baseplate: If you have a standard model with a factory bumper or a Rubicon with a factory bumper then you can use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. If you have a non-base model (Mojave) or non-factory bumper then let me know and we can figure out what will fit. Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e84ZR.

  • Flat Towing Components Needed For A 2024 Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Mark, I can definitely get you the rest of your flat towing components for the Gladiator. It looks like you have the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 so you'll want the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This fits select models with a factory bumper, if you have an aftermarket bumper then let me know and I can look for a fit. For the lighting you'll need the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 unless you have ParkSense...

  • Flat Tow Setup for 2025 Entegra Coach Vision XL 36C Towing 2024 Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Alan! It looks like you already ordered the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5, which is compatible with the factory plastic and steel bumper. This will work with your existing Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676. The wiring kit # RM-15267 you ordered will handle the Gladiator's lights as long as you don't have a model with ParkSense. However, that 7-way to 6-way cable lacks the wiring to illuminate the LED lights on the Nighthawk. If you have the original Flexo-Coil...

    Hey Daniel! I would be happy to help you get everything you need to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. This includes a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental brake system. For a complete setup I recommend the following: -etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 (assuming you have the factory plastic bumper) -etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR (includes safety cables) -Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267 (if you DO...

  • Base Plate RM67VR VS RM77VR Comparison And Compatibility With RM-422 Tow Bar
    Both Item # RM77VR and Item # RM67VR are the same cross-bar style base plate but with different connection arms so installation will be the exact same for both. Since you're using the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K Item # RM-422 both base plates will work with this tow bar but the RM67VR will be slightly less time to connect because the # RM-422 comes with the same connection plates already installed.

  • Troubleshooting A Flashing Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking Signal Indicator
    If the red indicator light is coming on for your Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 either something is causing your brakes to be applied or most likely the brake switch you have installed has a loose connection which is causing it to send the signal to your indicator light. If you haven't installed the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 already that could also be your issue. This stop light switch kit will allows your RV's monitoring system to alert...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2020 Jeep Gladiator
    To flat tow your 2020 Jeep Gladiator you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety chains and a braking system. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 is a great tow bar that I would absolutely recommend. The tow bar is made in the USA and has a limited lifetime warranty. This takes care of the tow bar portion as well as the safety chains because the Nighthawk tow bar includes safety chains. As far as the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate...

  • Should Stop Light Switch Kit Be Installed with Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO on a 2021 Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Joe, thanks for reaching out about the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251 installation on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator! We recommend also installing the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 so that you get an accurate readout on when your brake pedal is being pressed.

  • What Is Needed To Connect A Demco Stay-In-Play To A Motorhome's 4-Pole Connector
    The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 has a G-force controller that's only going to wire into the lighting signals that are already included in your 4-pole so you could get a diode wiring kit like # RM-154 (as long as you don't have ParkSense Proximity Sensors) and still use the 4-pole connector but you'd be much better off upgrading from the 4-pole to a 7-pole connector so that you can also run a charge line for your Gladiator.

    The metal skid plate does get reinstalled and will not have to be modified when installing the Blue Ox base plates on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator; the correct fit for your Gladiator is the following number: - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR You will need to remove the skid plate initially, but it does get re-installed behind the base plate, and you'll simply re-use the factory hardware.

  • Can Air Force Braking System Be Used To Flat Tow Jeep Gladiator With 2021 Tiffin Allegro RV?
    You are correct. Since your 2021 Tiffin Allegro motorhome already comes with the air tank and fitting at the rear, you can simply use Demco SBS Second Vehicle Kit # SM99209 and Replacement Air Jumper # SM99666 to complete the supplemental braking system for your towed 2020 Jeep Gladiator. You will also need base plates, a tow bar, light wiring kit, and safety chains. If you don't have these items already then I recommend the following parts for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Launch Edition. -Roadmaster...

  • Installing Brake Controller on 2020 Jeep Gladiator without Splicing Into Brake Light Switch Wire
    As of this writing (10-2019) there is not yet a brake controller plug-in adapter available that allows for a plug-and-play installation on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. With that being said, there are still a couple of ways you can install a brake controller (depending on the model controller) even if you aren't showing power on the brake light switch wire with the brake pedal depressed. First, to install a traditional brake controller like the excellent Curt Spectrum # C51170 you were looking...

  • Is A Brake Light Relay Kit Needed To Install The Roadmaster Invisibrake In A 2023 Jeep Gladiator
    The brake light switch wire on a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave isn't useable so you will need to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 for the indicator light of your Roadmaster Invisibrake System # RM-8700. You'll also want to install a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to keep the battery of your Gladiator charged while you tow so that it's good to go once you reach your destination.

  • Flat Towing Procedures and Setup for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
    On the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Truck models the steering wheel does not actually lock with the ignition in the off position, it just has a loss of power steering-which is likely what you're experiencing. Jeep removed the steering wheel lock from their models in 2008, I believe, so even without a key in the ignition you'll be able to turn the wheels; it's just going to be really difficult. With that being said, in order to flat tow you'll need to have the transfer case set to N (neutral)....

  • Is a Stop Light Switch Needed for Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking System On 2022 Jeep Gladiator
    In order to install the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700 on a 2022 Jeep Gladiator you'll need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751497. This kit allows you to obtain the brake light needed for the monitor on the InvisiBrake without splicing into the Jeep. You can't splice into the Jeep for this as the Jeep does not send the correct signal when needed for the system to work properly so this is a requirement for this system on this vehicle.
