SMI Air Force One Braking System Installation - 2010 Jeep Commander- Video
Today on our 2010 Jeep Commander, we're gonna be taking a look at SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes as part of our flat tow setup.The Air Force One is gonna be a semipermanent installation. What's nice about it is once you install it, it's maintenance free and you don't have to make any adjustments. Another thing that's nice about it is if you buy a new vehicle, you can transfer this over to that new vehicle with the second vehicle kit.Here at the front of our vehicle we have our breakaway switch, and we have our air fitting. Our breakaway switch is attached to the back of our RV. In the unlikely event that our Jeep is disconnected from our motor home, this pin is pulled, applying the brakes in the Jeep bringing it to a stop. With our air fitting, this is also connected to the back of the RV; this is where our braking system gets the air pressure to apply the brakes while we're flat towing the Jeep.Here we have our actuator mounted on our brake pedal arm. more

SMI Air Force One Braking System Installation - 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Video
Today on our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we're going to be installing SMI's Air Force One Supplemental Braking System, part number SM99243. This is going to be a truly proportional braking system, because the air that's coming from your motorhome is going to apply the pedal, and the harder you press the brake in your motorhome, the more air is going to be delivered back to your vehicle to apply the brakes just as equally as hard.As you can see here, when air is delivered to the cylinder it applies the brake. On the back of your mirror you'll have an LED indicator that you can watch in your motorhome's rear camera to verify that when you hit the brakes, the brakes are actually being applied. This way you can ensure and have peace of mind when going down the road that you're system's working properly. In the event of a catastrophic disconnect between your motorhome and your vehicle, the breakaway switch will be pulled and apply the brakes inside the vehicle to help bring it to a safe stop.Your kit will come with everything you need to tap and install your system, and you'll receive air fittings and air line to connect your motorhome over to your vehicle. We've got everything else that we'll need to get our flat tow for our vehicle behind our motorhome set up. more

What this means is the harder you press the brakes inside your motor home, the more it's going to apply the brakes inside of your vehicle.Included with your kit you get a breakaway switch, so in an emergency event where there is a disconnect between your motor home and your vehicle while going down the road, the pin will be pulled and the brakes will fly, bringing your vehicle to a safer stop. And the indicator light on the back of our mirror lets us know when the brake pedal in our vehicle is being applied. As you can see here, our brake pedal just applied and our indicator's on.Now, in order to get your vehicle connected to your motor home, you are going to need a baseplate, tow bars, and the appropriate wiring to get all of your lighting signals on your vehicle. We'll begin our install by mounting all of our units. more

Which the proportional side means that it's gonna provide us real-time braking, that's gonna match up to our motor home. So, if we come to a panic stop and slam on the brakes, our Blue Ox is gonna apply the brakes at the same time and intensity as we do in our motor home. But, if we ease into a stop, and just press them enough just to stop our vehicle, it's gonna apply the brakes to the Jeep the same way.The fact that it's portable means that we're gonna be able to remove it and not have to do any kind of permanent installation in our Jeep. more

That's gonna save the brakes on the RV and it's gonna be a lot easier to tow the vehicle, you're not gonna feel any push when you're applying the brakes on the RV, you're not gonna feel that push from your vehicle that's being towed.My operating unit is mounted to the floor with self tapping screws, my wiring, my airline tube, and my vacuum line is all ran, I had it routed underneath this panel up to the firewall. more

So, if you have multiple vehicles that you wanna flat tow, you only need one braking system that you can transfer in between them. You just have to have a separate breakaway switch for each vehicle. Not a problem. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2013 Jeep Wrangler, you're gonna be taking a look at, I'm gonna show you how to install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number RM-88400.What the brake light relay is gonna do is, when you're flat towing your vehicle and you press on the brake in the RV, or you throw on the blinker in the RV, that signal's gonna transfer through to the towed vehicle. However, with your braking system in this vehicle, when the braking system applies the break in the towed vehicle, that brake light is gonna override the turn signal, which is illegal.What the brake light relay is gonna do, it's gonna allow you to only get your brake signals and turn signals from your RV while your Jeep's being flat towed. When your key is turned into the on position in your normal driving conditions, your brake lights are gonna function normally.So, you can see we have five wires here. We're only gonna be using four of them. Because our vehicle does not have a push button start, we will not be using the blue wire. So, we're just gonna cut that one off. more

What that means is it's gonna apply the brakes at the same intensity as that we're applying them to our motor home that it's not gonna either drag our motor home back, and it's not gonna have our Cherokee pushing our motor home down the road. So a slight push on the pedal is gonna mean a slight push on the pedal on our Cherokee. But in a panic stop situation, our brakes are gonna be applied with a lot more force.Not gonna take up a whole lot of space, and it's gonna be tucked up out of the way of our feet during normal driving. more

The way it's going to apply our brakes is there's going to be an air actuator that's going to clamp to our brake pedal. And whenever we apply the brakes in our motor home, it's going to have a cable that's anchored to the firewall and it's going to pull the brake pedal applying the brakes.Now the operating unit is going to be rather small, and we're going to be able to mount it right underneath the hood. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Cherokee, we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Roadmaster Brake Light Relay Kit for towed vehicles. Part number is RM-88400.Now, we're going to give you a really good example of exactly what the brake relay is going to do in this application. Before installation of the relay, let's say we turn on our left turn signal at a stoplight to make a left turn, but we also need to apply our brakes. You can see how that brake overrides the turn signal. Now, if we do the same thing, but we turn on our running lights, since that's our trigger for our relay, and turn on our left turn signal, you can see as we apply our brakes, that blinker continues to flash. That's going to keep us compliant with all state laws.Now, to install our brake light relay, we need to tap it into the stoplight switch wire that comes from our stoplight switch. more

Blue Ox Patriot Proportional Braking System Installation - 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Video
Speaker 1: Today on this 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we'll be having a look at the Blue Ox Patriot II Portable Braking System, Part Number BRK2016. We're taking our RV out with our towed vehicle, with the braking system installed. The first thing you notice that this proportional braking system does is that when we're applying a little bit of brake in the RV, we're getting the same amount of brakes of being applied in our towed vehicle. If we're applying a lot of brake pressure, we'll get the matching amount of pressure inside the towed vehicle as well. Bringing our towed vehicle to a smooth and safe stop, in an equal manner with our RV, so we don't have to deal with feeling any jerking or pushing of the towed vehicle against the RV. We won't even really feel that it's back there.One thing many of our customers like about this unit is how easy it is to set up and use. more
6/13/2018 11:32:11 AM
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, part number RM-8700.Whenever we're flat-towing our jeep, a braking system is gonna be a very important thing. We don't wanna purely rely on our motor home to stop itself and our jeep, so that's where the braking system is gonna take some of the strain and stress off, and it's gonna help reduce the time that it takes to slow down and the distance.Our InvisiBrake is gonna activate the brakes inside of our jeep by having a pulley and cable pull on our brake pedal, helping it slow down. So whenever we push on the brakes in our motor home, it'll activate the cable and it'll pull on the brakes in our jeep. Now the nicest thing about our InvisiBrake is that once we have it installed, we're not gonna have to mess with anything. It's gonna be a permanent installation and this is the most that we're gonna see, is this small bracket that's gonna be at the bottom of our brake pedal. We're not gonna have to worry about moving one of those portable braking systems with those big boxes getting everything perfectly set up inside every time we canna flat-tow our jeep. more

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit Installation - 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL unlimited, we're going to be taking a look at the Road Master Stop Light Switch Kit part number RM-751490. So here's what our stop light switch looks like once we have it installed on our Jeep. I had this panel removed underneath the steering wheel so we can see a little bit better. Now the purpose of this kit is because we are going to be flat towing our Jeep and our supplemental braking system has an indicator light. Now the way our Jeep is wired up it has a retained power for the accessories which means that our brake signal and the factory brake switch will work for a few minutes when the key if off but after a few minutes it goes dead and then we won't have a signal to send out to our monitor light.With our stop light switch we're going to get a true reading of our brake pedal arm movement rather than just that power wire. So whether our supplemental braking system is pushing on the brake applying it, or if something we're to fall onto our brake and apply them, that is going to send a signal to our monitor so we know exactly what is going on.It is going to be a pretty straightforward installation. more

Whenever we're flat towing our Jeep, we don't want to only rely on our motorhome's brakes, because not only does it have to slow itself down, but it also is going to have to slow our Jeep down.Well that's where our InvisiBrake is going to help out. It's going to take some of that stress off of our motorhome and allow our Jeep to slow itself down, without having to worry about pushing our motorhome down the road. The nice thing about our InvisiBrake is that it's going to be a one-time permanent installation. We're not going to have to worry about taking something in and out and trying to set it up every time we want to tow our jeep. more

And also a tow bar, and we use the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain non binding tow bar.Our Stay-In-Play Duo's gonna provide that proportional braking whenever we're flat towing our Grand Cherokee. When we're towing in and we ask our motor home to do all the braking for us, that's a lot of work. more

SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Braking System Installation - 2018 Jeep Cherokee- Video
Speaker 1: Today in our 2018 Jeep Cherokee, we're going to be installing SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System, part number SM99251. The Stay-IN-Play DUO is going to be a braking system that permanently installs on your vehicle, so when you're pulling up behind your RV, it'll apply the brakes, making it feel like you're not hauling nearly as much of a load.It features a proportional braking system, so when you're sitting at a stoplight and you've got your foot on the brake, only the brakes on your RV are going to apply. There's an inertia switch located inside the control box that detects movement, so if you're traveling at any speed, it'll apply the brakes harder depending on that inertia.You're driving down the highway and you're about to get to your destination. You merge off, hit the brakes, and the brakes inside your vehicle apply using the cylinder attached to the pedal. You come to a stop and they stop.This is going to be a permanent installation, so your vehicle's always going to be ready to hook up to your RV and go to your next destination. Your control box will be mounted on the inside to easily switch the system off and on. more

SMI Air Force One Braking System Installation - 2018 Jeep Cherokee- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Cherokee, which we're going to be connecting to a 2017 Thor Tuscany, we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the SMI Air Force One. This is a proportional supplemental braking system for motor homes with air brakes. Part number is SM99243. Now one of the biggest benefits I see to the Air Force One system, other than it being directly proportional, one of the most proportional systems on the market, is the easy in connection that we're going to have from our towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.You're simply going to have a breakaway switch cable. We can use the quick connect carabiner connect that directly to the cable on the switch. Then we'll bring it up and connect that to the RV. more

SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Braking System Installation - 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO supplemental braking system, part number SM99251 in conjunction with the Roadmaster stoplight switch kit, part number RM-751449. The Stay-IN-Play DUO is a perfect solution when it comes time to needing a supplemental braking system for your flat towing set up, here's what the Stay-IN-Play DUO looks like installed.Now the reason you're gonna want a supplemental braking system, in many places it is required by law to have a supplemental braking system when you're flat towing your vehicle. Now the reason you'd want the Stay-IN-Play DUO over other options out there is because that this is a permanently installed fixture in your vehicle. There is no setup every time you want to flat tow, you simply flip one switch every time you want to tow and you're good to go.Inside of our vehicle you'll find our cylinder which is permanently attached to our brake pedal. We still have plenty of foot room around it to operate our brakes normally when we're driving but when we're flat towing the cylinder will pull down on our pedal and apply the brakes in our vehicle. With this being permanently attached many of our customers have found this much easier to use and operate than a cumbersome portable braking system which they have to set up and remove every time they want to flat tow or drive their vehicle once they arrive at their destination.Now what's great about this braking system compared to other units like it such as the Roadmaster Invisibrake system this is a proportional unit. more

SMI Air Force One Braking System Installation - 2012 Jeep Liberty- Video
Speaker 1: Today on this 2012 Jeep Liberty we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the SMI Air Force One supplemental braking system for motor homes with air brakes, part number SM99243. In this particular case we're working with a 2007 Fleetwood Revolution motor home on a Spartan chassis.The Air Force One is a great solution for those of you that need a supplemental braking system to help you keep safe and legal when flat towing your Jeep Liberty behind your motor home that has air brakes. The greatest thing about the Air Force One is that there's only one difference that you have after you've already hooked your Liberty up than how you did it before and that is your air line umbilical between your motor home and your Liberty. You'll just simple remove the dust cap that protects the fitting on the back of the motor home, you'll push in the hose, pull back and make sure it's secure, and we'll do the same on the Liberty. Just like that you're now ready to tow. The Air Force One even comes with a breakaway switch and a cable to attach to your motor home so in the unlikely event that your Liberty ever became disconnected from the motor home the breakaway switch would become pulled and it would apply the brakes in the Liberty, bringing it to a stop.Here's what the SMI Air Force One looks like installed on our Liberty. more

Roadmaster BrakeMaster System Installation - 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with our 2016 Jayco Seneca motorhome on a Freightliner chassis, we will be having a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System with BrakeAway. Part number RM-9160.Here's what our Roadmaster BrakeMaster looks like installed. As you can see, we have this very substantial cylinder here, which will apply pressure to our brake pedal to apply the brakes in our Wrangler. This will give us the necessary and required supplemental braking system that we're looking for, which is in many cases required by law in most states and Canadian provinces.This is a truly proportional braking system. This will only apply our brakes when the brakes are being applied on our motorhome, so you don't have to worry about any false braking. By proportional, we are getting equal braking pressure to what the air brakes are being applied on in our motorhome.Now when compared to other braking systems, which are permanently attached inside your vehicle, when this is not in use, we don't have to worry about having a cylinder that's clamped to our brake pedal with an anchor point to our firewall. more

Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Braking System Installation - 2012 Jeep Liberty- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Jeep Liberty, we'll be reviewing and installing the Roadmaster Even Brake braking system, part number: RM-9400. And we'll be using the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for towed vehicles, part number: RM-88400.This is a portable, easy to adjust braking system that uses an inertia sensor in the towed vehicle to detect deceleration. Like many other modern brake systems, this one is a proportional braking system that ensures that your towed vehicle's brakes are applied with an intensity that matches the slowing or stopping action of your towing setup. The result is improved control, better stopping and less wear on the brakes of both your vehicle and your RV.This system has an easier install than some of your others that require many electrical connections and tapping into your vehicle's systems. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, then this kit will be a good one for you.The included monitor mounts in your RV and keeps you updated on the status of the Even Brake. This wireless system relies on the ICX transmitter, which is mounted in the towed car to send signals to the monitor. more

Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking System Installation - 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, which we'll be hauling with the 2017 Coachmen Pursuit on the Ford F53 Chassis, we're gonna take a look at and show you how to install the Roadmaster InvisiBrake supplemental breaking system. Part number is RM-8700.Now, as we apply our brakes in our Coach, you'll see the InvisiBrake apply the brakes in our Jeep. Now we're can apply the brake here in the Coach and watch for the red light to come on. There'll be a slight delay. Then as we release the brake, again with the slight delay, we should see that go off. Now the InvisiBrake also helps prevent overworking of the vehicle's braking system. more

Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Braking System Installation - 2007 Jeep Liberty- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2007 Jeep Liberty, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking system, part number RM-9400. Now our Even Brake is a portable, proportionate breaking system, that's going to allow us to flat tow our vehicle behind our RV. It's going to use an inertial sensor to detect the vehicle's braking or deceleration, and then it's going to match and activate the brakes with the same intensity and at the same time as you push the brakes on your motor home.It has a built in high performance air compressor, connection to actuator right here, and that's going to assure the system is ready for each stop. Now the Even Brake has a universal design, and it's going to work very well with many different applications. The feet, as well as the brake pedal clamp itself are fully adjustable and they're going to fit most vehicles. The rear brace is fully adjustable, so you have a nice secure content point against your seat. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2004 Jeep Liberty- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2004 Jeep Liberty we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Brake Light Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number RM-88400.The main reason why you're going to want a brake light relay is that when we're going down the road towing our Jeep and we have our turn signals on, we're getting the correct signal. But, when we hit the brakes in our motor home and it applies the brakes on our supplemental braking system, the light's going to go solid and it's not going to blink anymore. Now, the reason why it goes solid is because it's overriding the signal from our RV, which is going to cause a lot of safety issues when we're driving down the road.Now, the brake light relay is going to install inside the car. Let's go ahead and make sure that it's working properly. As you can see, we have our turn signal on from our towing vehicle. If I step into our Jeep and push on the brake pedal, we can see that it's still blinking, so we know the relay is doing its job. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Jeep Wrangler we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System. Part number SM99251. Now our braking system is going to apply our brakes on our Jeep in proportion when we're flat towing it behind our RV. This box here is going to be our control box. It's not going to take up much room in our vehicle, and that's really all we're going to see. We do have an on and off switch and that's all we're going to have to do when we get ready to flat tow our vehicle. more

RoadMaster Stop Light Switch Kit Installation - 2014 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Speaker 1: Today our 2014 Jeep Wrangler we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster stop light switch kit, part number RN-751452.This is what you're going to get in your kit. Power wire, this is a wire that's going from the switch to your supplemental braking system that's going to be inside the vehicle. This is your brake switch, the bracket that's going to hold it and you also get a star bit, sorry, a star washer and then a nut.Now the reason I'm showing you this now is because it's kind of hard to see in there. You'll probably be able to see after I get it in, but I'm going to explain how this works now.What happens is on the inside underneath the panel here, you have a brake switch. On the top of that brake switch there's a bracket. On the top of the brake switch, there is a bolt. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2012 Jeep Liberty- Video
Speaker 1: Today on this 2012 Jeep Liberty, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Brake Light Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number RM-88400.When we don't have a brake light relay installed on our towed vehicle when we are towing it behind our motor home and our turn signal is on and then our brakes are depressed, we have the issue of our brake lights coming on on our towed vehicle overriding the turn signal from our motor home.Now with the brake light relay installed and operating when we step on the brakes on our RV with our turn signal on, our brake signal does not override the turn signal function when the brakes are applied inside of our tow vehicle with the supplemental braking system.Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed. To begin our install, we'll find ourselves underneath the dash on the driver's side of our vehicle. We find this fabric panel that sits above where our feet rest while we're driving. We'll need to remove this. We have two plastic rivets. The way these work, use a flathead screwdriver, twist out the center section, and come behind it, and pull out the entire piece. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2017 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Jeep Wrangler, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster brake light relay kit for towed vehicles, part number RM-88400.Now I'd like to show you why we're going to need that brake light relay. We have a vehicle with a seven way on the back hooked up to our Jeep here. We got our lights on and our left turn signal going. Now but in the case that there's a supplemental braking system in our Jeep when it's being flat towed and we hit the brakes on our motor home, which will activate the brakes inside our Jeep. Our brakes are actually going to override the turn signal and it's going to go solid. The brake light relay is going to prevent our Jeep's brake signal from overriding the turn signal that comes on from our RV. more

SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Braking System Installation - 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Today on our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited we're going to be taking a look at and show you how to install the SMI Stay-In duo. This is a proportional braking system for towed vehicles. The part number is SM99251. The biggest advantage to the Stay and Play duo, in my opinion, is that it's going to stay with the vehicle. We don't have to remove a box or go through a set up procedure every time we want to tow our vehicle. We'll simply hook it up behind our motor home, connect our wiring and turn our switch to on. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2017 Jeep Cherokee- Video
Today on our 2017 Jeep Cherokee we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Brake Light Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number RM-88400. Now, there's several different reasons why you might need a brake light relay. For instance, one of the main reasons why is because our vehicle is going to override the signal coming from our RV. When we push on the brake pedal on our RV, it's not going to send the correct signal to our brake lights because our vehicle's overriding that. When we're not flat towing our Jeep and we're just driving like normal conditions, our electrical system along with our brake lights are not going to be affected at all. Now, there's two installation applications for the brake light relay. One for most vehicles with a key and normally opened brake pedal switch. more

Part number SM99243. Now, a huge advantage to the Air Force One braking system isn't only in how well it works, but how easy it is to connect. We don't have to worry about putting anything in the vehicle. Everything's already in the jeep, it's already on the coach. All we have to do is hook up our airline and our breakaway switch. We've got our easy-to-reach connector here on the back. more

Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking System Installation - 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Today in our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with our 2016 Forest River on a Mercedes Benz chassis RV, we'll be having a look at, and installing, the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, part number RM-8700. Here's what our monitor light looks like installed. When our brakes are applied on our RV, and then the brakes are triggered in the Jeep, we will see the indicator light that comes on to let us know the brakes are working in the car. If a problem was to occur, and the brakes are being held on for too long inside of our Jeep, we would have an audible buzzer. When you're at a stop sign for an extended period of time, you'll notice my foot hasn't left the brakes, but our indicator light shut off. It does that so it doesn't damage the compressor inside the Jeep, because you're already stopped, but when you go back to your pedal, it turns back on. We have pulled the break away pin on the Jeep. Now you can hear the beeping sound, which indicates that there's a problem. The brakes are hanging up, or in our case, the break away pin has been pulled. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Today on our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, we'll be having a look at and installing the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number RM-88400. Here's what our brake light relay looks like installed. While we're in our fuse box here, our brake light switch will no longer have power going to it unless the key is in the on position because the relay kit taps into a keyed ignition source fuse. This way when your brake pedal is depressed by your braking system, you don't have to worry about your vehicle's brake light switch overriding the motor home's turn signals if they are engaged while the motor home is slowing down. Now when you uncouple from your motor home, you don't have to worry about flipping any switches or doing anything. As soon as you turn on your ignition source inside your Jeep, your brake light switch will become active again and your brake lights will function just as they normally did. What's nice about this, there's no switches or special procedures you need to do in order to get your vehicle more into tow mode. Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2015 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Today, on our 2015 Jeep Wrangler, we'll be having a look at and installing the Roadmaster Brake-Lite relay kit for towed vehicles, part number RM-88400. With our brake light relay installed, what this will allow us to do is to flat tow our Jeep behind our motor-home and when our towed vehicle braking system is applying the brakes, we won't have to worry about the brake pedal being depressed, overriding the turn signals if the turn signals we're on in the motor-home. This way, if you have your turn signal on while you're slowing down to a stop, your turn signal will still work properly. Now, the way this works is we'll have it tapped into the fuse box. Your brake light switch becomes active again when the key's in the on position on your Jeep, giving you normal brake lights just like normal, when you step on the brake pedal. When the key's off, you don't have any brake lights anymore, so you can safely flat tow without having to worry about your turn signals being overridden by the brakes. Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed. The first thing we need to do in order to gain access to our brake light switch, is to remove this panel here. more
