Expert Reply:
The Invisi-Brake # RM-8700 only applies the toads brakes when the RV brake lights are illuminated. So if you are engine braking then presumably you aren't using the brake pedal and if you aren't using the brake pedal then the RV brake lights would not light up.
Also if the brake lights were lit up the system automatically will reduce pressure after 15 seconds of continuous braking.
