Installing Roadmaster Even Brake 2nd Vehicle Kit on 2014 Chevrolet Equinox
Question:
I ordered a Roadmaster Even Brake 2nd Vehicle Kit Item # RM-98400 for my 2014 Chevy Equinox. Ive been reading through the instruction manual and Im confused on how to wire the kit to the brake light switch. Ive installed the TrailerMate Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # TM780072 so do I really need to wire the Roadmaster braking system to the vehicles brake switch. And If I dont, will the braking system still work to slow down the vehicle.

Helpful Expert Reply:
To install the Roadmaster Even Brake 2nd Vehicle Kit # RM-98400 on your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox, you will just need to use the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751439 and the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332. The Stop Light Switch Kit will allow you to tap into your vehicle's brake-light switch so that the RV's monitoring system will alert you whenever the brake pedal of the towed car is being applied. I have attached an installation video on your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox for you to review. I have also included the written installation details.
You will still need to wire the Even Brake 2nd Vehicle Kit to the brake light switch even with the TrailerMate Tail Light Wiring Kit # you mentioned installed for the braking system to function properly.
