Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Brake Buddy select three proportional breaking system and portable breaking system on a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This is what our Brake Buddy looks like when it's installed and you can see it just uses a clamp to clamp out on the brake pedal and attached to that is gonna be an actuating arm. Now pretty easy when the brakes are applied on the RV, it's gonna apply the brakes on the vehicle as well. And that's gonna bring the towed vehicle to a slow or a stop proportional to what you are doing with the RV. It also has a breakaway switch, so in case of an accidental disconnect, it's gonna apply the brakes bringing the vehicle to a stop. more

Best 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Flat Tow Set Up - Tow Bar Braking System- Video
Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at our best braking system options for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. So before we kind of get carried away talking about the different braking systems themselves, I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea just to kind of go over and touch base on the five main components that you're going to need to flat tow your Jeep down the road safely. First one's gonna be your base plate, and that's going to provide us with a solid connection point. That way we can hook up our tow bar. Tow bar's gonna be that second component. 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

SMI Air Force One Braking System Installation - 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited- Video
Today in our 2017 Jeep Wrangler unlimited, which we're going to be connected to our American Eagle Motor Home on the Spartan chassis, we're going to be showing you how to install the SMI Air Force One proportional supplemental breaking system for motor homes with air brakes. 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
