Replacement For Older Roadmaster Even Brake Supplemental Braking System

Question

Question:

Hello, I have an older Roadmaster Even Brake that needs repaired. I contacted Roadmaster and they said they have no parts for a pre-9400 system. I was wondering if you have any repair kits for even brake. It seems to be a slipping clutch on the compressor. Thanks

We get parts directly from Roadmaster so do not have any type of replacement or repair kits for an older Even Brake system. If the compressor is malfunctioning, which is what sounds like is happening, the only option available is a replacing your Even Brake with the newest model:
