Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com.Today, we're going to take a quick look at the RoadMaster BrakeMaster Custom Seat Adapter.This is a custom fit for your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. And because it is a custom fit bracket, it is going to fit along the contours of the floor for a nice tight custom fit. It's also going to remain hidden beneath your seat when you're not using the BrakeMaster system, so it's just going to simply attach where the bolts for your seat are currently located. They've got all the hardware included to get this mounted in place, and it's going to be much easier to get your BrakeMaster system attached. You can quickly connect it and disconnect it when you're done with it.
It makes your towing experience much easier to get set up and ready to go, so you could flat tow your Ford Escape.This does come with a limited lifetime warranty, and it is made here in the USA, so you can trust that it is made to those high quality standards that we've come to know and trust from products here in the US.It's also going to include some very detailed instructions to help you get this installed. But it's a very simple process. Basically, you just remove two of the bolts that are holding your seat down, take those out, and then place your washers or your spacers in between there, put your bracket on, and then use the hardware that's included to mount this all back down together, so that your seat is safe and secure. And then you also have the bracket attached so that you can then mount your BrakeMaster arm onto this piece. And it's going to be aligned with your brake pedal, so you're not going to have to worry about any sort of issues arising with your brake pedal arm being out of alignment.
It is all going to be exactly where you need it to be.That's really all there is to it for our RoadMaster BrakeMaster Custom Seat Adapter. So if you have a 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid and a BrakeMaster system, this is going to be the piece that you need.That's going to complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Easily mount your new BrakeMaster supplemental braking system with this custom seat adapter. Bracket remains hidden beneath your vehicle's seat when not in use.
This braking system does what it's suppose to do, smooth proportional braking between motorhome air brakes and the tow vehicle. The only reason I did not rate at 5 stars is that there is a slight misalignment of air cylinder mounting bracket and 2022 Jeep Gladiator brake pedal.
The install on my Ford Maverick is clean and functional, so this is more of a customer service review... excellent customer service!
During the 4-day towing set-up install, the forecast was for freezing temps and my rig was not winterized. I called in mid panic and the motorhome was moved indoors.
A few months after using the tow set-up, a minor problem developed. I called and the CSR apologized and said, I can see how that might be frustrating, and a replacement cable (slightly longer) was sent free of charge.
Second set on second Jeep, Brake system works great, a bit of an install with the air lines and placement of the small tank in the crowded engine compartment BUT once it is in the setting of the brake peddle arm is easy!
Kit fits great! Hooked up a 2004 Workhorse to a 2002 Jeep Liberty. It might be preferable to be handy with some advanced mechanical skills and tools to install this efficiently. Directions are great but you do need to figure out your own locations for certain items like the break-away reservoir, compressor, routing lines and wires out of harms way, but not bad at all. Parts are great, everything there but added a couple different wiring splices of my own.
Love the system better brake control than with other electric ones
works very good, did not come with indicater light or wire that tells you in the cab that the breaks have been activated
Make sure you order the plate needed for your vehicle. Had to wait a week until that came in to complete the installation. Plus if you are placing in a Ford Edge, there is a firewall access behind the battery. Knowing this makes it easier to do. Also on the Edge you have to make a small extension to get the connectors easier to disconnect.
For me it is the perfect towed braking system! Simple operating principle, easy installation, quick set-up and detach. Never needed for breakaway, but pre-trip test is always perfect functioning. Definitely saves on coach braking force needed.
(Installed on 2015 Itasca 34T DP w/2007 Toyota Tacoma)
This is a simple straight forward brake system.Had it installed in about a half day. The only thing that took the time was running the air line and wiring on my 40ft.rv.Had enough air line for the rv but had to buy more for the tow vehicle.No big deal.The brakemaster itself is really easy to install.Anyone with a little mechanical experience won't have a problem.Works like it should.Thanks e trailer!
Works as it should and easy to install and remove
it works great
I used this on a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser, so I could flat tow it behind an Motorhome. Easy to install! This works awesome.
I've been looking for a braking system for my tow vehicle for a while trying to determine which one I wanted. For ease of installation, ease of use both when I'm not towing and when I'm towing, I decided on the RoadMaster 9100. I then shopped prices and came back to etrailer where I found not only better or comparable prices but all the other items I am looking for as well.
I installed this on our 2004 Chevy Colorado. Was a snap. You will need the optional relay kit too. Our RV is a 97 Monaco Roadmaster suggests dealer installation. I would go along with that too, for most people.
In my case, my skills include most things automotive and diesel and street rod electrical systems. So i was comfortable doing it.
These are well made and stronger than I thought they would be. With the installation video I feel I can do the job easily.
Parts that I ordered through etrailer came ahead of the date the promised and complete. All of the ordering process was very easy and I had full confidence I would receive the correct parts.
Your customer service leaves nothing lacking, and this follow-up from you is so out of character for the many web sites I have purchased from over the years. I am impressed by you and your company.
I bought the tow bar and the brake system for my Equinox, and installed them my self (I am 70 years old) - and with your provided instructions and video, I had no problems (even though I was surprised by the number of parts and detail that went into the assemblies).
Both systems have worked very well, with no problems. I am completely satisfied with them, and have told my friends and traveling acquaintances about your company.
Thanks for your follow-up!
Great supplemental braking system. We are the second owners of our class-A motorhome. The original owners had installed a Brakemaster system; so we figured to use the same type of equipment as well - and we're glad we did. Having a proportional air over hydraulic braking system seems to provide a more accurate braking experience for our 2018 Ford Fiesta. Each time I apply brakes on the motorhome, a red LED light on the dash illuminates to tell me that the brakes are being applied on the tow vehicle as well.
Roadmaster was real slow with the delivery of the seat adapter. But Michael kept me informed all the way through to the delivery. etrailer is 5 stars all the way from start to finish. I look forward to using them in my orders to follow.
Now for ROADMASTER products
RM-643 safety cables quality is good work fine Delivery was fast
RM-9160 brake master system Love this system instructions were easy to follow
RM-15267 toad tail light/brake wiring good instructions for install
RM-1550-1 base plate good instructions for install except you need to drill two 1/2'' holes you must measure and mark as there is no pilot hole.
The whole system works great with the 2008 Honda Pilot
RM-88189 seat adapter I have yet to install as I had to make up my own for the trip.
I will say the seat adapter bracket is made just for the Honda and Acura, they had to make custom make. Thanks to all the car towed great for my first trip of 1,100 miles
This kit was installed on a 2007 Jeep Patriot. It did require fabrication of a seat mount bracket. Fairly easy with some angle iron and some spacers. Install was fairly straightforward. It required mounting the surge tank inside the engine bay and running wiring to and from the battery and breakaway switch. It also required mounting the quick release air fittings at the bumper, inside the vehicle, and also at the rear of the RV. I also mounted the LED indicator inside the RV and utilized the existing towing harness to run power from the vehicle to the front of the RV.
The product shipped on time and has been worry free. etrailer gets 5 stars for customer service every time I order from them.
Got everything installed except the foot that mounts to the floor. It wasn't in the box. I called etrailer who contacted Roadmaster and they said they would ship and I should have in a couple of days. Installed everything else along with the tow bar and light kit. Followed all the instructions and all went smoothly with no issues. Just have to wait for the missing part to complete and test.
I ordered this part mainly due to the quoted delivery date which was 9/12/2023. After my order was placed I get a notice that they received my order and that I could expect delivery on 9/14/2023. This completely screwed up our plans and all I received back was a "so sorry" email. I won't buy anything from this company again and I would warn those who may order something needed by a certain date to look elsewhere as these people do not stand behind what they say.
Installation does take some time as you will have to find a good place to install the break away cylinder. I could not find any reference material for my application. 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with the 2.0 liter engine. The only place I could find to install it was between the battery and the fender. If you are not mechanically inclined I would recommend having this installed by a professional.
