Video Transcript for Review of Roadmaster Tow Bar Braking Systems - Second Vehicle Breakaway Vehicle Kit - RM-98160
Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Roadmaster second vehicle kit with the BrakeAway for the BrakeMaster supplemental braking systems. Now you can easily tow your other vehicle without having to install an entirely new BrakeMaster supplemental braking system. This'll let you use that BrakeMaster supplemental braking system with an additional vehicle. Now that BrakeMaster systems we do sell separately, they offer two of them. First one is part number RM-9060.
Second one is part number RM-9160. And again, both of those we do sell separate on the website. With this kit here this'll allow you to use the same supplemental braking system with an additional vehicle. Now, this BrakeAway kit works with the Roadmaster BrakeMaster system and ensure that your tow vehicle comes to a controlled stop should it ever separate from your motor home. Uses the air pressure in this air cylinder to apply your brakes during a breakaway.
Now this kit will include everything laid out here on the table. Includes that air reservoir, the rubber mounting clamps to mount this air reservoir, the airline tubing, a breakaway switch, the breakaway cable. Over here, you got a male quick coupler and a female quick coupler, two linchpins, and then all your installation hardware with a nice set of instructions that'll describe how it installs and how it operates. Now, this kit will install in your towed vehicle. The breakaway switch right here will be installed to the front of your tow vehicle with the breakaway cable running from the switch to the motor home.
This will basically be pinned. Or connected to the pin in the breakaway switch. The other end will extend to your motor home and attach. And then basically this air cylinder's mounted in the engine department and supplies the air to the towed vehicles brake pedal for application of the brakes. So basically what happens if your towed vehicle would come detached from your motor home, the cable that was attached to your motor home into this pin would pull that pin out of the switch, which would then activate the air pressure in the cylinder to apply the brakes to the brake pedal in your vehicle.
Now these parts are made in the USA, but that should do it for the review on the Roadmaster second vehicle kit with the BrakeAway for the BrakeMaster supplemental braking systems..

Better than opening the hood every time we tow.
by: Dana E.09/28/2014
Item arrived quickly! Installation on our 1998 Toyota 4 Runner was not easy. Mounting brackets were made to mount the reserve air tank. One wiring item to connect brake activation light from tow vehicle to towed vehicle was missing from our kit. I had to build my own. This is the second system I have installed on our vehicles. The system works great!
Comments
The brackets work great! The car tows great!

The RM-98160 second vehicle breakaway kit was fantastic and just what I needed. I did not want to have to purchase a new breakaway system when I already had the basics. It was nice to just install the wiring and seat mounting plate and away I went. Thanks for being able to provide a great product.

Perfect

The instructions were accurate and the installation went well.

We love the Roadmaster 9000 System. Proportional braking with not a lot of electronics to fail. The second vehicle kit was easy to install. Direction were clear along with the install videos provided by e-trailer. Being an elevator constructor does 35 years I found it to be a fairly easy install. Since the components are safety related I suggest if someone is not comfortable with this install I would let a professional do it. Great product. Great quality from Roadmaster.
by: Gene Bacon07/30/2014
I am sure the product will be great however I found that I really didn't need it since my original brake system had a breakaway system already on it. I didn't know this until the new one was almost all installed.
Thanks for your help and concern. Also, the item took 7 days to arrive and I had paid extra for express 3-5 day arrival.
Sincerely

I added a tow vehicle and needed this kit for the 2nd vehicle. Using the trailer.com instructional videos I was able to install everything myself and save the hassle and expense of getting someone else to do it. Everything went together easily enough. Besides the great website with tons of product reviews and installation videos, the shipping was as fast as using Amazon Prime. I placed my order on Tuesday and received the kit on Thursday. Super fast.
