Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles
Does NOT work for 2021 and new F-150's. There is a lot of bad advice regarding this in the Q&A section that etrailer needs to update. Associates incorrectly have been including the Brake-Lite Relay kit in the list of items needed to tow late-model Ford trucks. However, with my 2023 F-150 XLT (push button start), it is simply impossible to install. The new Ford trucks do not even have a brake switch on the pedal and there is no visible wiring under the dash. I called Roadmaster, who immediately confirmed that they were aware of the issue. THE RELAY SWITCH IS NOT AN OPTION FOR 2021 AND NEWER F-150's. The only way to overcome the brake light override issue is to wait for the truck to enter "sleep mode." This occurs when you remove the key and don't open the door for 15 minutes. After that, the truck's electronics (body control module" shut off. Then the brake pedal can be pressed and the lights do not illuminate. Thus no relay is needed, you just have to wait 15 minutes. The motorhome wiring harness will work normally through the truck's tail lights, assuming you have installed the smart diode wiring kit for variable voltage. This part works great.
Self installed, and easy to do if you just follow the videos and read the instructions. Quality hardware and fully functional after a full year of use. Jeep JK

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.

Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional
Very touchy on where it is sitting on the floor in front of the seat. Must be lined up almost perfectly. Heavy and clumsy to get in and out and connected to brake pedal. Need to add an on/off switch to the power line on the controller otherwise it is transmitting a signal on Jeep brands all the time that interferes with the remote key lock. Quite disappointed with hit and miss braking operation while in use and sending braking signal to driver when it is not braking.
I bought a complete flat tow parts fir a jeep wrangler. I decided I could install myself. Your installation videos made it nearly a piece of cake. From a quote I got from a RV service business, I saved several thousand dollars installing myself. etrailer is the place to for your RV needs!

Roadmaster BrakeMaster for RVs w/ Air or Air-Over-Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional
The install on my Ford Maverick is clean and functional, so this is more of a customer service review... excellent customer service! During the 4-day towing set-up install, the forecast was for freezing temps and my rig was not winterized. I called in mid panic and the motorhome was moved indoors. A few months after using the tow set-up, a minor problem developed. I called and the CSR apologized and said, I can see how that might be frustrating, and a replacement cable (slightly longer) was sent free of charge.
The system works great! I was too intimidated by my coach's air brake system to attempt to install the line on the coach, so I had that done by a pro. But I did the rest of the install myself. It was straightforward, and the installation instructions were crystal clear. The product works great.

RoadMaster Stop Light Switch Kit
Thanks to a review I was aware I might have to grind out part of bracket to get it to fit. I did have to. Roadmaster said it wasn't necessary . I think they have to update the bracket for the newer models. Etrailer was more helpful than Roadmaster.
The towing package I purchased from etrailer has made all the difference in our RV trips. My jeep wrangler can go everywhere we go, easy to hook up and thanks to the invisa brake no strain on the RV brakes. Full system required a mechanic to install but all in all very happy..

Roadmaster BrakeMaster for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional
Kit fits great! Hooked up a 2004 Workhorse to a 2002 Jeep Liberty. It might be preferable to be handy with some advanced mechanical skills and tools to install this efficiently. Directions are great but you do need to figure out your own locations for certain items like the break-away reservoir, compressor, routing lines and wires out of harms way, but not bad at all. Parts are great, everything there but added a couple different wiring splices of my own.
Your customer service leaves nothing lacking, and this follow-up from you is so out of character for the many web sites I have purchased from over the years. I am impressed by you and your company. I bought the tow bar and the brake system for my Equinox, and installed them my self (I am 70 years old) - and with your provided instructions and video, I had no problems (even though I was surprised by the number of parts and detail that went into the assemblies). Both systems have worked very well, with no problems. I am completely satisfied with them, and have told my friends and traveling acquaintances about your company. Thanks for your follow-up!

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
Thanks everyone at etrailer for your help and quick response and shipping! My project turned out really great as you can see in the pictures I have included. The plug for the removable holders I 3D printed. Thanks Fred
Works great fairly easy install. It has been in use for the last 8 month's with no issues. Here may be some helpful hints that I found when installing. Use 10-12" long extension for 13mm nut (left side of opening panel that was removed). Install bracket. Adjust plunger & backing nut by feel. Remove bracket. Install switch with ring washer & nut. Crimp red & green wires on switch wires. Reinstall bracket under dash.

Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit
Solved my problem for a brake switch signal on my Bronco while installing the Ready Brute Elite 2 flat tow system. I really needed the little LED indicator on the motorhome dash to let me know when the brakes were being applied. Gives me piece of mind! Also was an easy install. Thanks.
It is my opinion that the universal brake light switch is the easy way to go. Hardest part doing the DIY way is the place you are working in. I.have a few sore spots trying to get underneath the steering wheel. The benefit is you have instant info that the switch works. A light comes on when you push the break pedal

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
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.
The product itself is great, but I’m missing a part that I ordered.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
Easy to install. This product is a lifesaver! My JGC WK did not have the tow package installed, so it had no connection for an EBC. This product gave me the stoplight switch connection I needed! It took about 20 minutes to install and adjust. Thanks!
Every thing needed was included. You need to be a bit of a contortionist but if this 75 year old can install it you can.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - Fiat
Installation was tight on the Fiat 500 but the instructions were right on. No issues since installation. It's performing well.
Perfect, and the followup by etrailer second to none. It is nice to have their expertise in your corner.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit - Ford
This switch kit worked as advertised and was easy to install. It has been about 1 year and 10,000 miles of towing with no issues.
Ive installed the ble ox base plate bx2654 and the remote battery disconnect #766. Installation was easy great instructions to follow. Also installed 12 volt outlet kit #9332. I'm installing led bulb and socket kit 152-led. Great so far.

What is there to say except the Roadmaster stop light switch kit simply works and works flawlessly.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
Works just like it should on my 2022 Jeep Cherokee.
This product worked exactly as described. Some things to be aware of. 1. It's a yellow dichromate plated solenoid. Not plastic grey. Nice 2. The video for the 2018 Cherokee shows a 4 bolt brake booster. 2019 Cherokee has a 5 bolt brake booster that has a black plastic frame. Use the same bolt location in the video and it works great. You'll need a deep socket and extension. 13mm. 3. PUT the solenoid on BEFORE attaching bracket. If for some reason you forget, Have someone depress brake pedal and then there's plenty of room to install.

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit
I purchased this as part of a package which included; Hitch and wiring for my 2022 Equinox, Base plate, Tow Bar, brake System and connecting air hose, break away cables, LED tow lights with wiring harness, and a trickle charger to keep the Equinox battery from going dead while I was towing it behind my class A RV. I had etrailer do the install of all the components on my car and RV. All the workmanship was excellent and done in the amount of time they said it would take. Also because they did not have a video of this equipment being put on this year and model vehicle, I gave them permission to make a video(which added a extra day and a half to the install)and the installation was free. Everything has worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Etrailer is my go to for anything towing and also RV parts.
Stoplight switch kit was easy to install. All contents needed was supplied.
What our customers are saying:
"The sales associate I spoke with was very, very helpful. I know very little about cars/trucks and, in my opinion, he went above and beyond to help me determine what I needed to buy! Thank-you so much for your help and especially for your speedy shipment! : I will definitely buy from this company again."
