Now, this is gonna be a great option if you have air brakes on your coach, and today it's going on a 2016 GMC Terrain. Now, in flat towing your Terrain, there's gonna be five main components required for flat towing and the first one's gonna be a base plate, and that's gonna be the attachment point for all of your components, and it's attached to the frame of the vehicle, creating a nice sturdy mounting point. Going along with that, you have safety chains, which are in case of a disconnect, it's gonna hold everything together and that way the car's not getting disconnected. Now, between your base plate and the hitch on the RV, you are gonna have your tow bar and that is simply that connection point that allows it to pivot as you're going down the road. more

Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System Installation - 2012 GMC Terrain- Video

Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System Installation - 2012 GMC Terrain

Connor: Hey everybody, Connor here today at etrailer.com. We're going to be taking a look at the Demco Stay-IN-Play supplemental braking system, here for our 2012 GMC Terrain. So a supplemental braking system is going to be required by law in nearly every State. Now, basically what this does is it's going to apply the brakes in our towed vehicle in relation to us applying the brakes in our motor home. So essentially it's going to help us come to a stop sooner and it's going to take some of the wear and tear off our motor homes braking system. So the Demco Stay-IN-Play is sort of unique in that it's a proportional braking system and basically what this means is, it's going to apply the brakes in our towed vehicle in a proportional amount to those in the motor home. more

Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking System Installation - 2012 GMC Terrain

Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 GMC Terrain, we're going to be taking a look at a Roadmaster InvisiBrake supplemental braking system, part number RM-8700.Whenever we're going to flat tow our Terrain, it's important that we have a supplemental braking system so that we don't wear out the brakes on our motor home, but also, we don't have our Terrain pushing us down the road, making it unsafe. That's where InvisiBrake is going to help. Our InvisiBrake is going to apply the brakes on our Terrain at the same time that they're being applied on our motor home, so we're not going to have that major strain of only relying on our motor home's brakes to slow down.The clamp on the pedal of the pulley on the firewall is about the only thing that we're going to be able to see. Our InvisiBrake is going to be a one-time installation. Set it up, and we're done. We're not going to have to worry about pulling out some box, like some of the portable braking systems. more

Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking System Installation - 2015 GMC Terrain

Speaker 1: Today on our 2015 GMC Terrain we're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, part number RM-8700. With our InvisiBrake installed, it's going to give us real time braking while we're towing our Terrain down the road with our motor home. Now, it's going to activate our brakes on our towed vehicle whenever we apply the brakes in our RV.The main benefit of this braking system over many others is that it's a permanent installation, and once we have it set up we're not going to have to make any adjustments. There's going to be a clamp and a pulley that pulls directly on our brake pedal, so even though we have that clamp attached to our pedal, it is going to be a lot less cumbersome than some of the other braking systems that have the entire actuator mounted to the pedal.Now, our actuator box is going to hide away in our cargo area, and we're going to have full adjustment of our braking force all the way from five to 80 PSI. You can simply pull out on the knob, turn to the right for more pressure, turn to the left for less pressure, and then lock it in place. Now, the more pressure we have the more force that our brakes are going to be applied. more

Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit Installation - 2017 GMC Terrain

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 GMC Terrain, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit, part number RM-751439. Now the reason why we needed to install that stop light switch on our Terrain here is because it's going to tap into our brake switch so that our motorhome side, the indicator light will let us know when the brake pedal is being depressed. A lot of supplemental braking systems are going to take that signal from the way the cylinder is reacting and not actually tell you what's going on with the pedal. So if you're cylinder's improperly installed and it's going to hang the brakes up just slightly, you're not going to know until you either wear out your brakes or you have some flat spots in your tires from dragging your vehicle down the road.Now our brake light switch when properly installed and adjusted is going to let us know the actual operation of the pedal and not just the pulley or the braking system itself. That way we know when our brake pedal is being applied and when it's released on the inside of our motorhome. Now that we've gone over the benefits and how it works, let's show you how to get it installed. more
