This is much better than cutting hole in the dash of the Motorhome and installing a light. I had it installed in less than 30 minutes. Invisibrake is the braking system used. The passenger side floorboard kick panel of my 2018 2 door Jeep Wrangler JL had everything right there power came off of Auxiliary switch package I ordered on the Jeep, direct wire to the battery. Ground is right behind the panel and the aftermarket wiring harness (the only one out there for JL I believe at this time) supplied the brake light function. I opted not to cut into the brake away switch wiring as I didn’t want to sacrifice the integrity of the wire itself.

this unit cannot even send a wireless signal 20 feet to the motorhome dash. Doesn't work.

Installed on my toad, behind my 40' Palazzo. It is a good 50' from RV driver's seat (where the receiver is velcroed) to the toad's driver seat (where the transmitter is velcroed), but signal is immediate and steady.
My toad's battery died and the transmitter/receiver became unpaired! I thought it was broken. Called Roadmaster, they had me fixed within 15 minutes. Basically turn off the unit, press the POWER button for ~15 seconds, then pump your brakes twice. Do this for both receiver and transmitter (I took my receiver to my toad to re-pair).

Install was easy. However could not turn transmitter off. Had to call Roadmaster. There tech staff helped me figure it out.

works great!

Works great. Do not use it often but it works as designed when connected before each trip. Comfort in knowing when dinghy brakes are being applied.

- Road Master Brake Monitor Alarm SettingsWhen the Status light is flashing bright red and the Brake light is flashing yellow the towed vehicle’s brakes have been on continuously for 30 seconds (for example, at a long stop light). Pump the motorhome brakes to reset the 30 second timer that is present to give you a warning to help prevent brake failure on the towed. Alternatively, press the “Silence” button once and the timer will now alarm only after 60 seconds of continuous braking. If the “Silence” button is pressed again after...
view full answer... - Is Additional Stoplight Switch Required When Installing Hopkins Brake BuddyThe Hopkins Brake Buddy systems like the Stealth part # HM39530 that we carry come with a stoplight switch for the activation of the system. The brakes of the tow vehicle will have to apply for the system to activate and start activating the brakes of the towed vehicle. There would be no need to also install an additional stoplight switch. If you wanted a monitor to allow you to know when the brakes are being applied you'd then want the part # RM-9530 which gives you a monitor you can...
view full answer... - How Does Roadmaster Invisibrake Monitor InstallFor the Roadmaster InivisiBrake monitor part # RM-9530 you'd wire it to your Invisibrake by running the black wire to ground, the red wire to 12 volt power, the yellow to the breakaway switch, and the blue wire to the brake light switch. I also attached a link to install instructions as well as an install video for you to check out too.
view full answer... - Brake Light Switch Wire Color on a 2018 Ford F-150The cold side of the brake light switch on your 2018 Ford F-150 should be a purple/white wire but I really encourage you to test it with a circuit tester.
view full answer... - Does Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor # RM-9530 Work without Breakaway Kit InstalledI spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and he informed me that the Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor # RM-9530 that you referenced will work without a breakaway kit installed. Reason being is that under normal circumstances the breakaway circuit of this does not have any voltage on it and it's only when it sees voltage does it know that a breakaway system has been activated.
view full answer... - Does a Monitor Light Come with the Second Vehicle Kit for RoadMaster BrakeMaster and Is It NeededIn regards to a Roadmaster BrakeMaster System, the RoadMaster Second Vehicle Kit with BreakAway for BrakeMaster Systems part # RM-98160 which I think is what you have does not come with any sort of monitor light. However, this can be obtained with the RoadMaster Replacement LED Display Monitor for BrakeMaster Systems part # RM-300065-00. The monitor light is not required for proper functionality of system nor is it required by law to have one but I strongly recommend one as it could potentially...
view full answer... - What Does Optional Adapter For Roadmaster Invisibrake RM-8700-9530 Do?I reached out to Roadmaster and the reason your Older Roadmaster Invisibrake # RM-8700 requires the # RM-8700-9530 is that it was made before the monitor 9530 was made, and the adapter has a built in microchip that regulates the voltage to the # RM-9530 that the newer Invisibrakes do automatically. Without using the adapter the Invisibrake can engage randomly causing quite a safety issue so I recommend using the adapter. If yours is damaged then just use the # RM-8700-9530 as a replacement. I...

If you want something in your motorhome that lets you know when the brakes in the towed vehicle are applied you can use the Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor part # RM-9530.

This kit will have three wires, red (ground), black (power), and blue (brake signal). You'll want to run the red and black wires directly to the battery with the included inline fuse holder.

This kit will attach to your brake pedal and sense when it's depressed and send out a signal which you'll tie into the Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor # RM-9530. The # RM-9530 is going to have a receiver for your motorhome that will plug into a 12v outlet and display...

So what you did to move forward from 30 to 60, then to 90 and then 120, move forward once more to return to 30 second setting. From the manual: "The “Status” light is flashing bright red; the “Brake” light is flashing yellow; accompanied with an audible alarm. The towed vehicle’s brakes have been on continuously for 30 seconds (for example, at a long stop light). Pump the motorhome...

The Roadmaster 2nd Motorhome Monitor/Alarm Kit # RM-98850 would take care of that if you are wanting it to operate the same as if you got a new Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. However, since you mentioned the Optional Adapter for Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700-9530, it sounds like you may looking at upgrading...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Flashing Red Light and Alert of Roadmaster Brake Monitor part # RM-9530Red lights flashing with the Roadmaster Brake Monitor part # RM-9530 with an audible alert indicates a breakaway is in progress. The yellow wire of this kit attaches to the breakaway kit wiring installed on the tow vehicle. When voltage is applied on this circuit the alert thinks a breakaway has occurred. You must have a miswire somewhere that is putting voltage on this circuit when you apply the breaks.
view full answer... - Indicator Light Recommendation for Use with Brake Buddy Classic Brake SystemThe Brake Buddy system is a manufacturer we don't carry, but it sounds like you simply want to know when your vehicle brakes are being activated so I do have a solution for you. You can use the Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor # RM-9530 which will be an easy LED system to give you the information you are seeking. I've attached a couple of videos to assist.
view full answer... - Does the Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor Come with an Actuator ArmThe Roadmaster Universal Brake Monitor # RM-9530 is just the monitor. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a braking system like the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. The arm that you are seeing would be included with the braking system, not the monitor. Depending on your vehicle, there may be some additional parts needed. If you want to provide me with your year/make/model, I would be able to tell you if there are any additional parts needed to use...

There is no wiring on the motorhome side, just the towed vehicle.

I reached out to Roadmaster about the transmitter. They suggested to reset the transmitter and the Invisibrake main unit. If that does not do the trick, then relocating the 9530 transmitter may be needed. If the transmitter is near other sensors like a key fob, tire pressure, bundle of wires, wifi, and or blue tooth signals then the signal of the transmitter may be interrupted. If you try relocating the transmitter and or the receiver and it does not work, please reach out.
