the same pressure to the dinghy vehicle.
Features and Benefi ts:
• Proportional braking means the towed
vehicle’s brakes respond to the coach’s brakes,
at the same time and at the same intensity.
• Emergency breakaway system is included.
• Works in virtually any vehicle with power
brakes.
• Monitor light in the motorhome’s dash
illuminates when the towed vehicle’s brakes
are applied.
• Meets U.S. and Canadian braking require-
ments.
What’s Included: BrakeMaster system, moni-
tor light, breakaway system, wiring and electri-
cal components, easy-to-read installation and
operating instructions.
Even Brake
portable braking system
MSRP: $1,555.60
How it’s Installed: The initial installation of
electrical components in the towed vehicle
takes less than an hour. Once the initial instal-
lation is complete, Even Brake connects and
disconnects from the towed vehicle in just a
minute or two. Position Even Brake between
the driver’s seat and the brake pedal, and ad-
just the pedal clamp over the brake pedal,
move the driver’s seat forward against Even
Brake, plug in the wiring harness cord and the
power cord, and press the
TEST
button.
How it Works: Even Brake automatically
increases or decreases braking pressure in di-
rect proportion to the motorhome. When the
coach brakes are applied, an electronic micro-
processor inside Even Brake signals a magnetic
valve to release a proportional amount of air
pressure, activating the brake cylinder, which
applies braking force on the towed vehicle’s
brake pedal. The amount of brake pressure ap-
plied is determined by the amount of braking
pressure applied in the motorhome.
Features and Benefi ts:
• Proportional braking.
• Three-tiered motorhome monitor (LED
light, LCD text message, audio tone) provides
complete, continuous braking information at
a glance. Reports any braking activity, or a
change in system status, to a wireless moni-
tor in the motorhome.
• Continuous monitoring allows any changes
in system status to be transmitted to coach
monitor.
• Power Save low battery protection warns of
a low battery in the towed vehicle with LED
and LCD alerts at the motorhome monitor.
• Automatic brake protection alerts the driver
after an extended period of continuous brak-
ing, then releases braking pressure to avoid
excessive wear on dinghy brakes.
• On-board memory remembers the settings
even when unplugged, and will automati-
cally adjust itself.
• Includes a brake relay to allow the dinghy’s
turn signals and brakelights to work simulta-
neously with the dinghy-to-motorhome elec-
trical connection.
What’s Included: Even Brake unit, motor-
home monitor, towed vehicle transmitter,
breakaway system, brakelight relay, easy-to-
read installation and operating instructions.
InvisiBrake
fully automatic, progressive supplemental
braking system
MSRP: $999.99
How it’s Installed: In most applications, the
InvisiBrake controller is installed beneath the
front seat of the towed vehicle. An air cylinder
is installed close to the controller; a bracket
