Features to know about

Keep Your Towed Vehicle Safe: Stop Light Switch for Accurate Brake Monitoring

When you're towing, it's crucial to know precisely when your car's brakes are engaged. The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit activates your RV's monitoring system every time the brake pedal in your towed car is applied. This essential feature shines by ensuring that your supplemental braking system is working as intended, helping you avoid potential damage from an improperly installed kit that might continuously press on the pedal, causing tire or brake system wear.

Custom Fit Designed for a Range of Models: Easy Installation for Jeep Gladiator

If you’ve got a Jeep Gladiator from 2020 to 2022, this stop light switch kit is custom-fit to suit your needs. The installation is straightforward and designed to work seamlessly with these models. It's a real win if you're prepping to flat tow your Jeep behind an RV. The kit wires directly into your vehicle's fuse box, providing constant current, and ensuring the system is always ready when you are.

Trustworthy Compatibility Across the Board: Works with Various Supplemental Braking Systems

Why stick with one brand when you can have the best from multiple? Even though some manufacturers advise against mixing products, Roadmaster's Stop Light Switch stands out for its compatibility with various setups, like the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO for Jeep Gladiators. This switch allows you to get a precise readout of brake usage, providing confidence that your systems are communicating efficiently, regardless of manufacturer boundaries.

Consistent Performance in Any Situation: Reliable USA Made Product

Quality and durability are key when handling heavy towing, and Roadmaster delivers with a reliable product, proudly made in the USA. This switch kit is designed for constant use, maintaining its performance and offering peace of mind during long hauls. You can count on consistent, accurate brake monitoring every time you hit the road with your setup.

Ready for Immediate Use: No Additional Parts Needed

Get your kit and go—for the most part, Roadmaster includes everything you need right out of the box. From wiring directly into the fuse box to easy installation on your specific vehicle model, this kit minimizes hassle. While accessories like inline fuse holders might not be included, the core components ensure your install is as seamless as possible, helping you get ready for flat towing faster.

No Guesswork: Clear Instructions and Support Available

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a towing newcomer, Roadmaster's clear guidance and supportive resources make installation a breeze. Exceptional documentation, including helpful videos, guide you through every step, ensuring an easy and successful setup for your tow vehicle's brake monitoring system.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.
