Video Transcript for What to Know About the Replacement Breakaway Switch for Roadmaster Flat Tow Brake Systems

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailier.com. Today we're going to take a look at the replacement breakaway switch for the Roadmaster supplemental braking systems. This is for a quantity of one switch. Now this will replace the breakaway switch on your Roadmaster supplemental braking system. And basically what the breakaway switch is.

It's a safety requirement. When you're flat towing a vehicle behind your motor home it'll prevent a runaway situation. If the tow vehicle would ever come detached from the motor home. Basically, this switch is wired into your supplemental braking system and it installs to the front of the towed vehicle. And then there'll be a breakaway cable.

Now the breakaway cable is not included. We do sell that separately. If you already have one, you can use that but that cable would attach to this pin and then it installs to the motor home. So what happens is if that car ever becomes detached from the motor home, that cable will be stretched. And it pulls that pin out of the switch which will then activate the brakes on the tow vehicle to stop the runaway situation.

This is designed to work with the BrakeMaster systems, the EvenBrake systems and the InvisiBrake systems. Does include everything shown here. Includes the breakaway switch itself. The mounting bolt and a nice set of detailed instructions that'll describe how this installs and operates. But that should do it for the review on the replacement breakaway switch for the Roadmaster supplemental braking systems..

This is a new switch, carefully packaged, and complete. My purchase was easy and delivery was fast. etrailer's order status link was helpful with package tracking. This is the second purchase I have made from etrailer and I will continue to be a loyal customer.

No problems whatsoever.

by: Doug 06/17/2022 One Year Later

My experience with etrailer was good from the perspective of the cooperation and pleasantness. However, even though I was clear on the tow bar I had (Blue Ox) and the vehicle I was towing (2005 Dodge Dakota) when the tow package came and the shop I had installing it got to the end of the installation, it was discovered that the wrong pins were sent, i.e. they wouldn't lock in place - too short . At first we couldn't determine what the problem was, so I called etrailer back. Was told those were the correct pins. Finally called Blue Ox directly and the rep immediately told me (after I gave him the PN) that those were the wrong pins. Without me asking he offered and did send two replacement pins free of charge. They worked perfectly.

by: Kenneth 03/17/2018

What can I say it is a breakaway switch to replace the one I broke. Service was great as usual.

Fine no problems at all.

I had purchased and had installed the Roadmaster Brake Pro system on my '00 Nissan Frontier about 10 years ago. I recently traded that vehicle in for a '12 Frontier, but before I did that, I removed the Brake Pro and tow hitch components. I installed all of these components on my new truck, but found that the orginal breakaway switch no longer worked reliably. Roadmaster doesn't sell repair components directly to consumers, but a web search led me to etrailer. The component that they provided was easy to install as a replacement and works perfectly.

by: Stephen 01/25/2022

Just installed. Looks like a quality product. The people at etrailer are great to work with.

Good quality product.

This replaces my original unit for Even Brake. Old unit mounted under front bumper corroded and shorted causing my brakes to lock up. These should be inspected regularly.

by: Mike V. 04/01/2013

Worked and installed easily per the directions. Wired it up through a flat-4 trailer-type connector, along with power, to the Roadmaster ICX transmitter unit--makes for easy install/removal.

by: Mike 10/13/2014

Bought this as a back-up/replacement to use for my Roadmaster Supplemental Braking System.
It came quickly and was just what I needed.

by: Jeff 04/11/2019 One Year Later

Works perfect and easy to install. Installed along with a whole Roadmaster system.

by: Don 04/11/2024 One Year Later

Solid and reliable cord. Mounting the connectors was straight forward and not difficult.

by: Keith 08/17/2020

Both orders (breakaway switch and harness) were received on the same day and ahead of the promised delivery dates. Quality product as usual. Thank You Odelia!

Product I ordered was shipped promptly however a part was missing. The pull ring on this brake away switch so had to improvise.

by: Howard 11/09/2017

I have ordered many products from etrailer and their customer service is 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. I ordered my products on the weekend and they were delivered on a Wed. I also later found cheaper prices on a few of the items and submitted the info for the 110% lower price guarantee and received the refund within a few hours. These folks are just plain great!

The item is exactly as described and was shipped promptly and received in good condition. It was packaged well so that would it would not be damaged during shipment. I would definitely use etrailer.com again

Replacement Parts for Roadmaster Even Brake that Is Missing Everything but Main Unit
Thanks for including the serial number of your Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 that means that the correct transmitter is the part # RM-9420 and then for a receiver # RM-9410. This is what allows you to be able to see what the Even Brake is doing from your tow vehicle. For the breakaway components you'd need the # RM-650898 and the # RM-650900. Aside from plugging it in and seeing if it powers on there isn't a way to really test it for function without all of the components. Since...

Installing Replacement Breakaway Switch for Roadmaster Even Brake and Brake Pro Braking Systems
I will be happy to explain the installation of the breakaway switch. First, mount the break away switch at the front of the vehicle, on the drivers side. Choose an area you can easily reach, with a surface of sufficient strength to hold the switch firmly in place, so that the break away pin (Figure 1) will pull freely from the switch. Mount the switch in a horizontal position, with the break away pin facing toward the motorhome. Ensure that the break away pin can be pulled freely away from...

Troubleshooting Invisibrake Monitor and Breakaway Installation on 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
The motorhome monitor alarm in Monitor/Alarm Kit # RM-98850 will not sound when you press the motorhome brake pedal. If someone presses the toad brake pedal for more than 20-seconds then you should hear the alarm. As for the breakaway my contact at Roadmaster suggested testing the breakaway wiring. The black wire should have voltage all the time; the white wire should have voltage only when the pin is pulled. If you have power on the black wire but the white wire does not go hot when the...

Transmitter and Receiver Recommendation for a Roadmaster Even Brake System
Yes, the RoadMaster Even Brake Transmitter and Receiver # RM-9430 that you referenced would be the correct kit you would need to give you a transmitter and receiver for the used Even Brake System part # RM-9400 that you have. The breakaway system of the system will need to be properly installed before the Even Brake will be functional. If you are missing that you would want part # RM-650898. For a harness you would want part # RM-650900.

Roadmaster BrakeMaster Will Not Release After The Break Away Pin Was Pulled Out
From what you are describing, you have one or two things that could be going on, but odds are it is the switch that is causing the issue. One way to test this will be to connect the 2 wires in the back of the actual switch. This will complete the circuit, which the pull pin should be doing, and will tell you immediately if it is the issue. If the brakes are now working properly, you will need to replace it with the Replacement Breakaway Switch # RM-650898. The removal of the pull pin can...

Even Brake Breakaway Switch Wiring to Transmitter
The # RM-650898 is designed to wire to the black and white wires of the transmitter you sent in a picture of. It's odd yours had the connector cut off though. Essentially the switch connects the two wires which will activate the trailers brakes so if you touch them together now they should lock up.

Even Brake Supplemental Braking System Error Message Tow Break Away Emergency Brake Applied
