Hey Alan! It looks like you already ordered the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5, which is compatible with the factory plastic and steel bumper. This will work with your existing Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676.

The wiring kit # RM-15267 you ordered will handle the Gladiator's lights as long as you don't have a model with ParkSense. However, that 7-way to 6-way cable lacks the wiring to illuminate the LED lights on the Nighthawk. If you have the original Flexo-Coil cable that came with it, I would use that instead so you don't lose that feature. Otherwise, you can replace it with # RM-1676-7R.

For a braking system, I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. This is a reliable proportional system that will work with the hydraulic brakes on your Vision. The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 will also be required to complete the installation.

The supplemental braking system doesn't handle the Gladiator's brake and turn signal lights; that's what your # RM-15267 diode kit is for. Since the diode kit doesn't handle battery charging, you will also need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to keep the Gladiator's battery maintained while you're towing.

Where are you headed once you get the Gladiator set up for towing?

It looks like a lot more things to install on the demco system versus the invisible system. Are you saying the invisa brake system will not work? Or not as reliable as the demco

@AlanB the InvisiBrake # RM-8700 will work with your Gladiator, but I recommend the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 instead. We've dealt with quite a bit more troubleshooting on the InvisiBrake over the years, and overall I've found people tend to be happier with the DUO. The DUO also provides proportional braking, so the Gladiator's brakes are applied based on the actual deceleration of the motorhome. This gives you smoother, more controlled braking than the InvisiBrake, which applies a preset amount of braking when it receives the brake light signal. For a permanent system, the DUO is definitely what I would install on your Gladiator.
