Review of Roadmaster Tow Bar Braking Systems - Stop Light Switch - RM-751496- Video

Today we'll be taking a look at the Roadmaster stoplight switch kit. This is an important component in your vehicle to make sure that everything's working properly with your supplemental braking system. Since this is going to provide you that brake switch signal so that it can be sent to your monitor in your RV, while you're using that supplemental braking system, that'll let you know whenever those brakes are being depressed, so you can keep an eye on your system. A lot of times vehicles will shut off the power to their brakes if they don't have that hot brake signal anymore, or the power is not supplied because we have to use a better disconnect.Whatever the case may be, this will get us that signal that we need, so we can monitor it again in the RV. Typically, the reason why you'd want to do that is just to make sure that the brakes are being applied as you're applying the brakes in your RV. And if any event that something's going wrong, and you notice those brakes are being applied all the time in your towed vehicle, this is going to send that signal to your monitor to let you know. more

Now this is going to be a system to help you stay compliant with state and federal laws to flat tow your vehicle. This is going to apply the braking force in our towed vehicle to make sure that it comes to a safe and complete stop. So it's going to work similarly to a brake controller in a vehicle like if you have a truck and you're towing a trailer or a fifth wheel camper or something similar to that. That brake controller is going to apply the brakes in your trailer or your camper to help bring it to stop so your towing vehicle isn't doing all the work.Same thing with the supplemental braking system.

And that's for the 2500 and the 3500.This is going to actually allow you to use a brake controller for your Sprinter. There's no real good way to get a brake signal under the dash, like you typically would need for that brake controller, to get it wired up properly. So this going to be a solution, so you can use that brake controller, and have those braking functions going out to a trailer, and slowing that down.The way that works is it will have this custom-made bracket that goes underneath our dash, and then this switch is going to have a little plunger. more

Today we'll be taking a look at the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit.This is going to allow your vehicle to use a supplemental braking system that requires a monitor in the RV. If your vehicle, when it's in tow mode, doesn't have a brake signal, if there's no live brake signal there whenever it's in tow mode, or it's only there for a little while after the ignition is turned off, you'll need that brake . or that stop light switch to make sure that the monitor can still read your brakes being applied.Basically, this is just going to be sort of a mechanical device. This little plunger is going to be pressed up against the brake pedal arm, and that will sense whenever that brake pedal is being depressed, and whenever it lights up. So, that will send that signal to our monitor on our RV, and that allows us to monitor how our brakes are operating in our towed vehicle when we're going down the road.This bracket is going to be a custom fit for the 2019 Buick Envision turbo model. It comes with our two wires to get the connections off of our switch here. more

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit Installation - 2019 Chevrolet Sonic- Video

Whenever we go to flat tow our Sonic, there are going to be several components that we need. One of them is going to be a braking system, so that whenever we press the brakes on our motor home, our Sonic will slow down with it and we're not relying on the motor home to slow everything down. Now, most braking systems are going to have a monitor light in there, so we can monitor what's going on and when the brakes are applied in our Sonic without having to leave the motor home.Now, the problem with that is, is that most monitor lights are going to go off of the brake cylinder and the actuator that's actually causing the brake pedal to move, but if something we're to fall on the brakes or that cylinder doesn't move back all the way, or if it's not installed properly, we're not going to get an accurate reading. That's where our stop light switch is going to come in and help us out. Our stop light switch is actually going to give us an accurate reading of when the pedal moves rather than when the actuator moves.Our stop light switch is going to mount directly to the brake pedal arm. It's going to have a small plunger in there, and whenever the brake pedal moves, it's going to energize that circuit and send that signal out. more

Low sensitivity requires intense stopping action from the RV to activate your brakes in the tow car, and high sensitivity will allow the Stealth to respond to even minimal slowing of your RV.It is a one-time setup. more

SMI Air Force One Braking System Installation - 2010 Jeep Commander- Video

Today on our 2010 Jeep Commander, we're gonna be taking a look at SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes as part of our flat tow setup.The Air Force One is gonna be a semipermanent installation. What's nice about it is once you install it, it's maintenance free and you don't have to make any adjustments. Another thing that's nice about it is if you buy a new vehicle, you can transfer this over to that new vehicle with the second vehicle kit.Here at the front of our vehicle we have our breakaway switch, and we have our air fitting. Our breakaway switch is attached to the back of our RV. In the unlikely event that our Jeep is disconnected from our motor home, this pin is pulled, applying the brakes in the Jeep bringing it to a stop. With our air fitting, this is also connected to the back of the RV; this is where our braking system gets the air pressure to apply the brakes while we're flat towing the Jeep.Here we have our actuator mounted on our brake pedal arm. more

Review of Roadmaster Tow Bar Braking Systems - Stop Light Switch - RM-751477- Video

Today, we're gonna take a look at the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit for Ford Explorer. And this is going to be a custom-fit bracket for your Ford Explorer. This is gonna fit a 2016 to 2019 Explorer without adjustable brake pedals, and basically, one end is going to mount to a factory stud on your vehicle, beside the brake pedal itself, and then the bracket is gonna go up and around to the front so that you can mount your brake light switch to the bracket and have it depress that plunger.Basically, the idea of this system is that it's going to allow us to monitor our braking while we're in our RV, and towing our Ford Explorer.This is just going to activate our wiring, so that we can have a alert in our RV so we'll know every time our brake is being applied in the towed vehicle. This is gonna be helpful, since we'll be able to know if we're not hitting the brakes in our RV, and we see our light indicate that our brakes are being applied in our towed vehicle, that something has gone wrong.Either something is hitting the brakes in our towed vehicle, or something is not aligned properly with our braking system. This is gonna give us that secondary way to know that everything is working properly.We'll have two lengths of wire. One is gonna be our power wire for the stop light switch. more
