Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 activates the brakes on your Jeep Wrangler when you engage the brakes in your motorhome. This means that the system only activates when the brake lights of your motorhome are lit to eliminate any false braking.

It will also activate in the event of a breakaway to help slow your towed vehicle to a stop and allow you to safely pull over.
