Question:
Is the invisibrake compatible with a coach with air brakes? Does it require an electric brake controller on the coach to function properly?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 can be used on an motorhome that has air brakes. The InvisiBrake does not require an electric brake controller. It connects to your RV and applies the towed vehicle's brakes at the desired setting by receiving signal from the motorhome's brake lights.
For a supplemental braking system specifically made for motorhomes with air brakes, the SMI Air Force One # SM99243 is a great system. It connects directly to the RV's airlines and there always applies the brakes with the same intensity as the RV's brakes are being applied.
