InvisiBrake Troubleshooting, Light Came On for 200 Miles then Went Off

Question

Question:

I have had my invisible ale system since Janiary of 2015 - I have put about 4,000 miles on my unit since the install. Yesterday the light came on in the motorhome upon my initial test prior to traveling. However after about 200 miles the light quit coming on in the motorhome. Do I need to adjust the pressure on the system?

I spoke to my contact at Roadmaster and when I described your situation to him he said that as long as the Invisi-Brake was installed correctly you would just need to turn up the pressure slightly to get it to want to function more consistently.
