Description / Roadmaster InvisiBrake - Hidden Braking System
Completely out of sight:
InvisiBrake is so small it can usually be mounted under a seat without sacrificing any of the vehicle's usable space.
Progressive Braking:
When you continue braking so does InvisiBrake. The longer you apply the brakes in the motorhome, the harder your tow vehicle will brake (InvisiBrake will NOT skid your tires).
Bypass the 12-Volt Outlet:
InvisiBrake connects directly to the towed vehicles battery during towing - InvisiBrake will NEVER drain the battery.
Specifications:
Controller Size — 8¾" x 8¾" x 2¾"
Voltage — 12 volts DC

Two Stage Motorhome Monitor:
Invisibrake includes and LED monitor for a visual reference of braking activity; an audible alert in the motorhome indicates extended braking to warn you if the brakes have been active too long.

Customer Reviews
I purchased an SMI stay n play for myself and installed it in my dodge ram to tow. Then I had a friend want this roadmaster invisibrake installed in his 2012 grand cherokee to tow, so I have installed and worked with both now. The SMI system has an accelerometer built into the system, it requires both, a brake light signal and decceleration to activate. The Invisibrake only uses brake lights to activate. The SMI system is wireless operation, the Invisibrake requires an umbilical cord hooked up between RV and toad. The SMI has a control box mounted on the dash of the RV with indicator lights and adjustment settings, the Invisibrake only has a light in the dash of the RV to indicate that the brakes are applied. Both systems work the same, a vacuum pump energizes the brake booster in the toad and a cable pulls the brake pedal down to apply the brakes. The SMI system makes one attatchment to the fire wall for the end of the cable, the piston actually mounts to the brake pedal. The Invisibrake needs two attatchments to the fire wall; the end of the cable mounts to the brake pedal, then a pulley mounts to the firewall, then a cable clamp mounts to the fire wall and the piston is then mounted somewhere else. Either way you go, both of these brake systems are completely functional and in my opinion are much easier to use compared to the brake box that has to be set up each time you tow and removed when you arrive and want to drive the toad. If I had to install another brake system in a toad for me, I would go with the SMI system and I would recommend it to a friend over the Invisibrake.
Be aware that if the brake light in your motorhome comes on when your exhaust brake engages it is going to engage the brake in your towed. Now, after installion is complete I am pleased thus far. Just plug in a wire from the motorhome to the towed and you are ready to roll. Feel much more confident with invisibrake than with the portable brakepro.
