Expert Reply:
If the previous owner was using a Roadmaster Brakemaster system, # RM-9100 or # RM-9160 then there are several parts you will need to get it to work with an RV that uses hydraulic brakes. Basically you will need the second RV kit # RM-98300. There is also no telling how well the parts in the CR-V are working.
For just a little more money you could get a whole new system, # RM-8700, have it installed and not have to worry about part compatibility or installing things on the RV. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
