Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # RM-9400 has an inertia sensor that senses deceleration to engage the braking on the towed vehicle. The towed car's brakes are activated at the same time and with the same intensity as those in your motor home. The terrain-sensing design allows braking system to adjust for braking uphill, downhill or on uneven ground to prevent false braking.
