Best 2011 Honda CR-V Tow Bar Braking System Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best supplemental braking systems for your 2011 Honda CR-V. Whenever we're flat towing our CR-V behind our motor home, a supplemental braking system is going to be a key component to make sure that we can get down the road safely. We don't want to fully rely on our motor home to slow down because it already has to slow itself down, and then we're going to be adding all this extra weight on top of it. A supplemental braking system is going to be help our CR-V slow itself down, greatly reducing the distance and time that it takes for us to stop. With our supplemental braking systems we're going to have a few different kinds available.We're going to have the kind that's going to be more electronic-based that's going to work with any and all motor homes, and then some that are going to be specifically made for motor homes that have air brakes, as well as a portable braking system. Let's take a closer look at some of those now.Here we're going to have two that are going to be electronic-based. more

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2011 Honda CR-V- Video
Today on our 2011 Honda CRV 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 we don't have to worry about pulling any fuses or flipping any switches, or anything of that nature in order to get our vehicle into tow mode safely. This will allow us to flat tow our CRV behind our motor home, and when our motor home's turn signals are on and the brakes are applied in the motor home, applying our towed vehicle braking system in our CRV, the brake light switch in the CRV won't override the turn signals that we we're getting signal from in the motor home because this disables the factory brake light switch, making us get all of our lighting signals from the RV itself, treating our CRV just like a trailer. When we unhook from our motor home when we arrive at our destination, in order to re-enable our brake light switch so we actually have functional brake lights, again, all we have to do is just stick the key in our ignition and start our vehicle like normal, and we'll have working brake lights once again. As soon as you turn the key off and remove it, it disables your brake lights, making it easier and safer for your brake lights and turn signals to work when we're in flat tow mode. Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed. All right, in order to gain access to our brake light switch there's two panels on our dash that we need to remove. This one right here and then a black one underneath it. more

SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Braking System Installation - 2011 Honda CR-V- Video
Today in our 2011 Honda CRV, we're going to be taking a look at showing you how to install the SMI Stay and Play Dual Supplemental Breaking System. Part number SM99251. You can see how much it is hidden by the dash panels. Virtually it's going to be undetectable when not in use. You're only going to have your cylinder sticking out here and your g-force controller on the side here. This is going to be a completely proportional system, so the harder you step on the breaks in your coach, the harder it's going to apply the breaks in your towed vehicle. You can adjust it with your g-force controller as to how aggressive the brakes are going to come on in the vehicle by moving it up or down. more
