The ROADMASTER difference
• ‘Hands-on’ design and manufacturing
ROADMASTER doesn’t outsource. All of our core products are designed, engineered
and manufactured at our plant in Vancouver, Washington, with virtually every process
done under the same roof.
To us, “made in the U.S.A.” means just that — we didn’t just assemble it; we made it.
The reason for hands-on manufacturing is simple: quality. Quality starts on the inside,
and when you control the process, you control the quality. The way we see it, “quality
first” is the reason more ROADMASTER towing products are on the road today than any
other brand.
• The most stringent testing in the industry
ROADMASTER was the first towing products manufacturer to use computerized testing
— as well as “real world” physical testing — to ensure structural integrity, longevity and
the safety of your family.

The basics of towing…
What to know before you tow.

There are four major components to any towing system — the tow bar, the mounting bracket, supplemental brakes and towing accessories.
ROADMASTER offers a wide range of product choices within each category. Each one has been designed, tested and manufactured to make every aspect of your towing experience safe and pleasurable.
Important — Before towing any vehicle, consult your owner’s manual to be sure your vehicle can
be towed with all four wheels on the ground without damage to the transmission. Some vehicles can
be towed as is, but others may require a transmission lube pump system or driveshaft disconnect. Both
products are reliable, time-proven accessories that protect your vehicle’s transmission during towing.

Step 1
Select a tow bar

Step 2
Mounting bracket

If you select the tow bar method of towing, you must choose either a motorhome-mounted tow
bar or a car-mounted tow bar.

Regardless of the type of
tow bar you choose, a tow bar
mounting bracket will be required. It’s custom-designed
to fit your specific tow vehicle and bolts to the vehicle’s
frame to provide an attachment point for the tow bar.

Motorhome-mounted…

Motorhome-mounted tow bars
insert into the
two-inch motorhome receiver and can be
stored on the
back of the motorhome.
Motorhome-mounted bars are
preferred because they never
have to be lifted off the front of
the towed vehicle and you always
have a built-in spot for storage
on your motorhome.

…or car-mounted?

Car-mounted tow bars are
mounted and
stored on the
front of your
towed vehicle.
Designed for simplicity and
ease of use, they can be detached and lifted off the vehicle for
storage in a trunk or cargo bin.

Question — tow bar…

A tow bar is by far the most common method of towing. It allows
for the quickest connection to the
motorhome; plus it’s lightweight,
easy to handle and simple to store.

…or tow dolly?

A tow dolly is ideal for those who
want to tow multiple vehicles without installing a tow bar or mounting bracket on each one. Plus, a
transmission lube pump system
is not necessary for vehicles with
front wheel drive automatic transmissions because the front wheels
are off the ground.

Step 3
Supplemental brakes
Supplemental brakes are required in most states,
and for an excellent reason — the laws of physics. At
highway speeds or during a panic stop, the inertia of a
towed vehicle’s weight significantly increases stopping
distance.
Oftentimes, the difference between a severe accident and a close call is just a few feet. Supplemental braking systems are designed to stop the towed
vehicle-motorhome combination in about the same
distance as the motorhome alone.
There are four ROADMASTER systems to choose
from, offering you the widest choice of any manufacturer.

Step 4
Safety equipment and accessories
Required by law in almost every state, safety cables
(A) attach to both your towed vehicle and your motorhome as a secondary security device.
Your towed vehicle must also be wired for functioning turn signals and taillights while in tow. A Universal Wiring Kit with diodes (B) safely connects the two
vehicles’ electronics. A power cord (C) is necessary to
conduct the lighting signals from the motorhome to
the towed vehicle.

What is ‘FEA?’
ROADMASTER’s computerized testing
method is called “FEA,” which stands for “Finite Element Analysis.”
If that sounds complicated, that’s because
it is — FEA is the same method NASA engineers use to test their new designs. The automotive and biomedical industries, among
others, also use finite element analysis.
Every FEA design is displayed as a fullscale, three-dimensional object, which engineers can rotate and study on the screen
as they apply thousands of pounds of force
across the load-bearing components. Stress

manipulated to remove it.
The result is an optimized design, in both
materials and components, which has been
tested and verified at maximum linear strain
— the strongest, safest and easiest-to-use
brackets in the industry.
ROADMASTER was the first towing products manufacturer to use computerized
stress testing — as well as “real world” physical testing — on our tow bars and mounting
brackets to ensure structural integrity, longevity and the safety of your family.

‘Hidden’ Mounting Brackets

Now you see ‘em...

...Now you don’t!

ince the 1990s, ROADMASTER mounting brackets have been
manufactured with front arms which are easily removed when
the vehicle isn’t being towed — Now you see ‘em…now you
don’t!

Supplemental Braking Systems

Why do you need a
supplemental braking system?
Here are five reasons…
1. Safety first! Supplemental brakes…
• …take the load off the motorhome. When the motorhome and towed vehicle
brake in tandem, it takes significantly less time and distance to come to a controlled stop.
• …relieve stress on the tow bar and the mounting brackets — a panic stop
without supplemental brakes is a leading cause of tow system failure.
• …reduce the chance of a catastrophic brake failure at the motorhome as a
result of sustained braking.
2. It’s required — According to the American Automobile Association,
most states — plus many Canadian provinces — now require supplemental
brakes if the towed weight exceeds 3,000 pounds (see page 9).
3. Chassis warranty — Workhorse/Chevrolet will void your chassis warranty if you tow more than 1,000 pounds without supplemental brakes; Ford
stipulates 1,500 pounds.
4. Wear and tear — Because they aren’t braking for two vehicles, your
motorhome brakes last longer.
5. It just makes good sense — Every other trailer on the road today —
fifth wheels, travel trailers, boat trailers or semi-trailers — has its own braking
system. When you’re towing two or three extra tons, shouldn’t you have a
supplemental braking system to stop it?

Need help choosing a supplemental braking system?
Call our experts at 800-669-9690.

Which system is right for me?
A ‘direct’ system? — BrakeMaster is recommended if you don’t frequently change motorhomes or towed vehicles. Because it connects directly
to the motorhome’s braking system, the initial installation is longer than a
portable system. But once installed, it’s a truly trouble-free and easy-to-use
braking system.
A ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ system? — InvisiBrake is recommended if
you like convenience above all else and plan on keeping your towed vehicle for the foreseeable future. InvisiBrake is not a portable system, but
the major components can be easily removed and installed in a new towed
vehicle.
Or a portable? — Even Brake and the 9700 are recommended if you
change towed vehicles or motorhomes often. Both are portable systems, with
no installed components in the motorhome except for a dashboard monitor. Initial installation
time is approximately one hour, depending on
the vehicles.
Even Brake is a sophisticated system with
proportional braking; the 9700 is a basic sysBrakeMaster™
tem which applies a pre-set braking pressure.
Proportional braking system

All systems…
• …will bring your towed vehicle into compliance with U.S. and Canadian requirements.
• …include an emergency break away system,
to stop your towed vehicle should it ever separate from the motorhome.
• …work in virtually any towed vehicle with power brakes.
• …work in virtually any motorhome.
• …greatly decrease your stopping distance,
helping you avoid the danger and hassle of
accidents.

Portable Proportional Braking
Portable Proportional Braking System

Even Brake…Even Safer.

Even Brake is the ultimate portable, proportional towed vehicle braking system. It automatically increases or decreases braking pressure in direct proportion to the motorhome. In other words, it brakes evenly — at the same time, and
at the same intensity, as you brake the motorhome.
Proportional braking is a distinct advantage over ‘on-or-off’ systems, which
brake at one preset level, no matter how hard the motorhome stops. Even Brake
delivers full emergency braking when you need it, and won’t cause excessive
brake wear when you don’t.
Nobody brakes the same way every time — and neither does Even Brake.

Even Brake’s monitor gives you complete,
continuous braking information — at a glance.

Even Brake stays in constant communication with the motorhome, and with you.
It reports any braking activity or a change in system status to a wireless monitor in
the motorhome.

Made in the U.S.A.

9400 Even Brake portable proportional braking system

The monitor shows you —
• An LED display across the top of the monitor illuminates when Even Brake is applying the brakes or if there is any change in the braking system. The LED display is a
quick, visual reference — a green, yellow or red light.
• Simultaneously, an LCD text message directly below the LED explains the current
braking condition, in complete detail.
The monitor tells you —
• In addition to the LED display and the LCD text message, an audio tone will alert
you to an emergency braking condition.

Portable Pre-set Braking
Exclusive Features

• Full-time proportional braking — proportional braking is even
braking — your towed vehicle’s brakes respond to your motorhome’s brakes, at the same time and intensity.
• Constant self-diagnostic testing — Even Brake monitors its own
performance constantly, and any change in system status is transmitted to the motorhome monitor. Even Brake is the only supplemental braking system that checks itself, so you don’t have to — a
glance at the monitor assures you that Even Brake is fully operational.
• ‘Power Save’ low battery protection — Even Brake warns you
of a low battery in the towed vehicle with LED and LCD alerts at
the motorhome monitor, giving you time to recharge the battery.
If the battery voltage drops too low, Even Brake goes into sleep
mode, while retaining emergency braking power.
• ‘Terrain-Sensing Logic’ — Even Brake adjusts to uphill or downhill
grades and to rough terrain by automatically leveling itself. Because
it’s always level, Even Brake always brakes with maximum efficiency.

Additional Features

• Automatic brake protection — the monitor alerts you after an extended period of continuous braking, then Even Brake releases braking pressure, avoiding excessive wear on the towed vehicle’s brakes.
• Easily adjusts to individual braking preferences — adjust
braking force and sensitivity at the touch of a button.
• On-board memory — even when unplugged, Even Brake will remember your adjustment settings and will automatically level itself.
• Completely portable — easily transfers from vehicle to vehicle
without expensive labor fees; connects and disconnects in seconds.
• Automatically delivers maximum braking pressure in an
emergency or a break away situation — Even Brake works the
most when you need it the most.
• Small and lightweight — fits in virtually all vehicles, with plenty
of “elbow room” under the steering wheel and dash.
• High-capacity air compressor — recovers quicker — ready for

• Includes an emergency break away system
• Adjustable brake pedal clamp — fits brake pedals that other
systems can’t.
• Adjustable monitor lights — bright for daytime driving; dimmer
switch allows the monitor lights to be dimmed for nighttime driving.
• Four independently adjustable feet — for a stable platform in
vehicles with uneven floors.
9400 Even Brake portable proportional braking system

Efficient, effective…and

EASY!

The 9700 is a preset system with three braking preferences — light, medium or heavy braking.
Or, the 9700 may be set to activate only in an emergency break away.
The 9700 uses the electrical connections already in place on your towed vehicle (the towed vehicle’s electrical harness) to brake when you brake the motorhome — the same electrical signal
that activates the towed vehicle’s brake lights also activates the 9700.

9700 Features

• Three braking pressure presets: light, medium
or heavy
• Or, the 9700 may be set to activate only in a
break away
• Activates only when the motorhome’s brake
lights illuminate — no false braking!
• Connects and disconnects from the towed
vehicle in just a minute or two
• Includes an LED motorhome monitor for a
visual reference of braking activity
• Includes an emergency break away system
• The 9700 automatically delivers maximum
braking pressure in a break away.
• Automatically protects the towed vehicle’s brakes
• The 9700 releases braking pressure after an
extended period of braking, then activates the
next time the motorhome’s brakes are applied.
• Audible alert at motorhome indicates
extended braking.
• Easily transfers from one towed vehicle to
another, without expensive labor fees.
(Initial installation is typically under an hour,
depending on the vehicles.)
• Recovers quicker — the 9700 is ready for the
next stop nearly twice as fast as other systems
with smaller air compressors.
• Includes an emergency break away system
• Adjustable brake pedal clamp — fits brake
pedals that other systems can’t
• Does not accumulate water in the reservoir tank,
unlike other systems — no puddles on the carpet!
• Four independently adjustable feet — for a
stable platform in vehicles with uneven floors
• Meets U.S. and Canadian braking requirements
9700 9700 portable braking system

A revolutionary innovation in supplemental braking — nothing.

ip. Zero. Zilch. Nothing. Nada. Nil.
That’s what you have to do to connect and disconnect InvisiBrake.
There’s nothing to take in and out of your towed vehicle and
there’s nothing to push, pull, set, adjust, activate or deactivate.
What could be easier than nothing at all?

What is InvisiBrake®?

patent pending

InvisiBrake is a fully-automatic supplemental braking system that uses the electrical connections already in place on your towed vehicle (the towed vehicle’s electrical
harness) to brake when you brake the motorhome — the same electrical signal that
activates the towed vehicle’s brake lights also activates InvisiBrake.

Features

Made in the U.S.A.

• Out of sight
InvisiBrake is so small (8¾" x 8¾" x 2¾") it can usually be mounted under the
driver’s seat, under the rear seat, behind interior panels or in the trunk, without
sacrificing any of the vehicle’s usable space.
• Set-it-and-forget-it braking
Once it’s installed, InvisiBrake just works. There’s nothing for you to remember
— not even an ‘on’ switch — just plug in the umbilical cord like you always do
and you’re ready to go!
• Charges your battery while towing
InvisiBrake connects directly to the towed vehicle’s battery and trickle-charges the battery during towing — InvisiBrake will never drain the battery.
• Two-stage motorhome monitor
InvisiBrake includes an LED monitor for a visual reference of braking activity; an
audible alert at the motorhome will warn you if the brakes have been on for too
long.
• Activates only when the motorhome’s brake lights illuminate — no false
braking!
• Energizes your power brakes — most braking systems work on a ‘dead’ brake
pedal. InvisiBrake energizes your power brakes so that you have the same power
braking system while towing as you do while driving.
• Works in virtually any towed vehicle with vacuum-powered brakes — including hybrids and those with full-time (‘active’) power braking systems.
• Includes an emergency break away system
• Easily adjusts to individual braking preferences — braking pressure is adjustable from five to 100 psi.
• Meets U.S. and Canadian braking requirements

Why is InvisiBrake better?
• Nothing to put in or take out to tow or drive.
• Hidden from view — As the name implies, InvisiBrake is
hidden once installed. There’s no unsightly equipment to
see in your car.
• Simple operation — works intuitively. No fuss, no hassle.
• Charges your battery — trickle-charges the battery while
towing. Never drains your towed vehicle’s battery.
• Power brakes — InvisiBrake engages the power braking system, giving you the
same power brakes whether towing or driving.
• Safety is standard — includes a break away system and a monitor alarm.

How does InvisiBrake work?

1. The controller receives a braking signal from the motorhome.
2. The vacuum created by the controller activates the power brakes.
3. The air cylinder pulls a cable that applies the brakes.

‘Direct’ Proportional Braking

BrakeMaster…

™

• …works in virtually any motorhome.
• …works in virtually any towed vehicle with power brakes.
• …easily disconnects from the brake pedal — from towed car to
road car in seconds!
• …includes a break away emergency braking system.
• …meets U.S. and Canadian braking requirements.
There’s a BrakeMaster for all three types of motorhome brakes…

What is BrakeMaster?
BrakeMaster is ROADMASTER’s ‘direct’
proportional braking system. It connects
directly to the motorhome’s air or
hydraulic braking system for rock-solid,
reliable braking — brake line pressure in
the motorhome controls the brakes in the
towed vehicle.
Because it connects directly to what powers
your motorhome’s brakes, BrakeMaster is
a truly proportional, truly synchronized
braking system — however you brake the
motorhome, BrakeMaster automatically
applies the same pressure. Every time.
Connects and disconnects from the
towed vehicle in under a minute,
without any tools, adjustments or
settings — attach the brake pedal
clamp, secure to the floor or seat
adaptor (see BrakeMaster Accessories on the next page),
quick-connect the air hose,
and you’re ready to tow.
Weighs just 3¾ pounds
and measures 17 inches
in length — stores
almost anywhere.

Why do I need a Brake-Lite Relay?
What does the Brake-Lite Relay do?
It stops the brake lights from functioning
until the vehicle is started. This prevents the
towed vehicle’s brake signal from overriding
the motorhome’s turn signal.
When you tow without the Brake-Lite Relay, your towed vehicle’s brake lights alone
will work fine. Your turn signals alone will
work fine. But if you’re braking and turning, the brake light from the towed vehicle
will override the turn signal from the motorhome and drivers behind you will be unaware you’re about to turn.
Do you need a Brake-Lite Relay?
You only need a Brake-Lite Relay if you’re installing a supplemental towed vehicle braking system that pushes or pulls the brake pedal.
Exceptions –
• With the engine off, step on your brakes. If the brake lights
do not illuminate, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay.
• If you’re using magnetic tow lights or a bulb and socket
wiring kit, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay.
• If both your motorhome and towed vehicle are wired for
separate brake and turn signals, you do not need a Brake-Lite Relay.
Note: many newer vehicles have a ‘sleep mode’ which shuts down most electronics,
including the brake lights, when the engine is turned off. However, this sleep mode
isn’t instantaneous — it takes a certain amount of time to kick in. Until that happens,
your vehicle’s brake lights will override the turn signal during towing.
To avoid this you can either: a) install a Brake-Lite Relay; b) wire the vehicle so that
the turn signals function while towing; c) install a bulb and socket kit; or d) wait for
the sleep mode to activate before towing. The option you choose is a function of what
works best for your particular towing combination.

Why do we make stop light switches?
For your peace of mind.
ROADMASTER uses the stop light switch to connect InvisiBrake, BrakeMaster, Even Brake and 9700 motorhome monitors directly to the towed vehicle’s
brake light, so you always know when the brake pedal is depressed and released. It’s simple — brake light on: monitor on; brake light off: monitor off.
If any particular vehicle’s stop light switch doesn’t work when it’s being
towed, we make one for it that does.
Other manufacturers’ motorhome monitors are connected
to the supplemental braking system. They only tell you when
the supplemental braking system is on or off.
That’s an important distinction, and here’s why:
Say the braking system is
positioned too far forward, so
it’s riding on the brake pedal.
Every ROADMASTER monitor
will accurately indicate continuous braking, notifying you
of a problem before you even
drive away. But motorhome
monitors that are connected to
the supplemental braking system will have nothing to report. That would likely
result in brake damage.

Here’s how to tell if you need a stop light switch…

If the brake lights don’t work with your towed vehicle’s ignition key turned
to the “tow” position, you need a stop light switch.
ROADMASTER manufactures stop light switch kits for most popular towed
vehicles; check online at www.roadmasterinc.com for the most current list.

Combo Kits

Tow bars, you’ve met your match.

Combo Kits contain the accessories you need,
matched to your ROADMASTER tow bar.

Each Combo Kit contains:
• Electrical components —
• A wiring kit with four Hy-Power diodes
• A straight or Flexo-Coil™ power cord to connect electricity between the
vehicles, with a 7-wire plug for the motorhome (attached) and a plug and
socket for the towed vehicle
(Since the Sterling All-Terrain tow bar comes with a power cord, the Sterling
All-Terrain Combo Kit does not include one.)

• A bracket to mount the power cord socket
• A pair of safety cables rated at 6,000-, 8,000- or 10,000-pound GVWR capacity,
depending on the model you choose — see below
(Since the Sterling All-Terrain tow bar comes with safety cables, the Sterling All-Terrain
Combo Kit does not include them.)

• Two or three (9252) case-hardened steel padlocks (keyed alike) — for added
security
• A marine-grade vinyl cover (see page 24) to protect your tow bar

Protection and Storage

Protects your towed vehicle and
RV against dings and rock chips.

he Guardian is crafted from rotationally-molded,
high-impact polyethylene to absorb the impact
of rocks, gravel and road debris — instead of
ricocheting it back at the motorhome.
The Guardian can be attached and removed in seconds, and fits all ROADMASTER tow bars equipped
with quick-disconnects (Note: MX, MS and EZ5 brackets will not accommodate the Guardian). Can also be
used with a tow dolly to help protect your towed vehicle by using Guardian bracket part number 2000-8
(see page 31).
If you tow more than one vehicle, the second vehicle kit has all the mounting hardware necessary to
swap the Guardian from one vehicle to another.

Motorhomes kick up rocks, gravel and road debris, but
so does oncoming traffic. A Tow Defender/Guardian combination protects your towed vehicle’s finish, headlights and
windshield against damage from both lanes.

Guardian storage system
The 4000-10 Stowaway slides over your tow bar’s stinger or ball mount to convert the rear
of your motorhome into a storage area for your Guardian rock shield. A center cut-out affords quick and easy access to most motorhome electrical components.
In addition to these features, the 4000-40 Stowaway has a drop-down collar with a pullpin design that allows you to easily remove the Stowaway for access to the rear diesel compartment.
With a set of optional quick-disconnects (part number 222, page 25), both Stowaways will
also store either a StowMaster tow bar or a ROADMASTER quick-disconnect crossbar.

grooved interior channels deflect rocks, gravel and
road debris down and away from your towed vehicle
or trailer.
The RoadWing fits most 2" hitch receivers. It slides
over your ball mount or tow bar stinger and is easily
attached with set bolts, or just as easily detached. The
24" x 24" flaps can be trimmed to fit nearly any vehicle.

Towed vehicle wiring kits

y law, a towed vehicle’s turn signals, running lights and brake lights must mimic
the motorhome’s. There are three ways to
accomplish that:
1) a wiring kit with diodes;
2) a wiring kit with bulbs and sockets; and
3) magnetic tow lights.
Whichever one you choose, we have a kit with
all the necessary components.

‘All-in-one’ towed vehicle wiring kits

Bulb & socket towed vehicle wiring kits
A major advantage of a bulb and socket kit is that
it bypasses the towed vehicle’s electrical system,
which eliminates the concern of interacting with any
vehicle electronics, or voiding the vehicle manufacturer’s warranty.
Note: the towed vehicle’s taillights must have
room for an extra socket and bulb inside the lens
housing. To see if a bulb and socket will fit in your
vehicle, visit www.roadmasterinc.com.

Magnetic towed vehicle wiring kits

LEDs have significant safety and appearance advantages over incandescent bulbs — they’re brighter, they activate faster and they last longer. Another
advantage is that LEDs draw significantly less amperage and are therefore less of a strain on the electrical system.
This complete kit contains a 27-foot wiring harness, butt connectors, two LED bulbs, two sockets,
zip ties, ring terminals, split loom and installation
instructions.

Magnetic tow lights are the quick and easy way to connect your towed vehicle’s electrical system to your motorhome’s. A self-contained system, which requires no
splicing into the towed vehicle’s electrical system.
• Fits all vehicles
• Magnets hold lights securely
• Heavy-duty vinyl casing for

Diodes permit electrical current to flow in only one direction
— from the motorhome to the
towed vehicle’s taillights — preventing electrical feedback and
the damage it can cause to both
vehicles’ electronics.
If you’re using a diode, why not
use the best? Hy-Power diodes
have a heavy-duty aluminum heat sink, and each diode is protected
against the elements — all components are housed inside an epoxysealed aluminum case.
Four-pack required for most vehicles. Includes detailed wiring instructions.

792 two Hy-Power diodes

790-25 25-pack Hy-Power diodes (bulk pack)

Park Light diode

Problem — Electrical damage can occur to the towed vehicle if its
headlights are turned on while still connected to the motorhome.
Solution — Use a Park Light diode
to stop any interaction between the two
park light systems, preventing electrical
feedback and electrical damage.
Note: the Park Light diode will not replace Hy-Power diodes (see above).
690 Park Light diode

Brite-Lite™ 3-to-2 converter

If you have this — the motorhome has separate brake and turn signal lights; the towed vehicle has combined brake
and turn signal lights.
You need this — the Brite-Lite converter connects a vehicle with a separate brake and turn signal system to a vehicle with a combined brake and
turn system, while delivering more current to the
towed vehicle’s brake and turn signal lights for brighter illumination.
732 Brite-Lite 3-to-2 wiring converter

Whatever electrical system you choose, you’ll
need a cord to connect electricity between the
towed vehicle and the motorhome.
ROADMASTER’s power cords are the best — the
wires are water-, oil- and chemical-resistant, and
the plugs are injected with silicone to prevent corrosion.

making it easy to plug and unplug the power cord. Both straight and
90º angled brackets fit most electrical sockets, and can be either
welded or bolted in place. Black powder coat finish.

Never disconnect the battery cable to tow!

Eliminate the inconvenience and danger of pulling your battery cable with these
battery disconnects. After the initial installation, your vehicle can be towed and
then driven without any further adjustment to the battery — ever!
Battery disconnects are ideal for anyone towing a vehicle which must be towed
with the battery cable disconnected.
Both battery disconnects…
• …work on virtually all 12-volt batteries.
• …are pre-assembled for easy installa tion.
• …provide a positive current source for
break away systems or other acces sories which must be connected to
the battery.

disconnects, visit www.roadmasterinc.com.

No more dead battery!

These simple, easy-to-install charge line kits help maintain the vehicle’s battery
charge while in tow, supplying up to 15 amps of current. They also extend battery
life by providing a constant maintenance charge (without overcharging the battery)
during towing. Installation hardware is included.

ow about if you never had to spend another minute with your face on the
floor mat, gazing up into a black void, hunting for a miniscule piece of plastic
playing hide and seek?
You don’t have to.
FuseMaster eliminates the necessity of having to remove a fuse for towing,
then having to reinsert it for driving. After it’s installed, you simply flip a switch to
accomplish the same task.
There are several FuseMasters which, collectively, fit most vehicles which must
have fuses removed for towing. To determine the FuseMaster you need, call
ROADMASTER (800-669-9690) or click the ‘Vehicle Specific Info’ tab at www.
roadmasterinc.com.

Pulling a Honda CR-V fuse is “…a real PITA.”

“Honda did not give much thought to the location of this fuse. I could not pull
it with their fuse puller, ended up using a long needle nose pliers. To re-install the
fuse is a real feat — you can’t see what you’re doing because your hand blocks
your view. The hassle of pulling and re-installing the fuse is a real PITA.”

Hitch Accessories

The leading cause of tow system failure is an “out of level” tow bar — when the
tow bar is at an upward or downward slope. Many of the accessories in this section
will allow you to connect your tow bar at a safe, level height.
Note: longer safety cables or safety cable extensions may be necessary for any accessory which extends the length of the towing system (see pages 20 and 27).

Quiet Hitch™

A spare tire carrier for your motorhome!

Quiet Hitch stops sway and wander before it begins by eliminating any free
play between the receiver and the tow bar (or bike rack, ball mount or whatever
you insert) for a solid, seamless connection. Consistent pressure keeps your
towing combination tracking straight
through crosswinds, curves and sudden maneuvers — all with considerably less effort on your part.
Quiet Hitch also reduces tire wear,
as well as wear and tear on the hitch
and the receiver, by eliminating free
play.
Especially effective on towing
combinations with multiple hitch
extensions; also reduces noisy rattle
caused by bike racks or hitch accessories.
All three Quiet Hitches (see below) bolt on in seconds.

What do our customers say?

“I’ve been using your Quiet Hitch on my Suburban hitch now for almost a year. Very
nice product! I trailer our various boats about 60,000 miles per year fishing bass tournaments and taping our ‘Real Fishing’ TV series. It’s so nice to keep the rattle out of the
hitch assembly. In fact I just bought two more in Florida last week for two other of our
tow vehicles.”

hen it comes to a flat tire, “I hope it won’t happen to me” isn’t much of
a contingency plan. But that’s all most motorhome owners have to work
with. Because most motorhomes don’t carry a spare.
So spare yourself and get a spare tire carrier — before Murphy’s Law kicks in
and you find out just how long it can take to find a spare tire 30 miles north of
Phoenix. On a Sunday. And how much you’re going to pay for it.
ROADMASTER’s spare tire carrier is the proactive approach to a flat tire —
• With a ready-to-go spare, Roadside Assistance can get you back on the road
quickly.
• Carrying your own spare allows you to control the cost.
• You have a place to put your spare, without taking up any valuable cargo space.
• Comes with a two-inch receiver hitch for a tow bar, hitch rack or other hitchmounted accessory.

Dual Tire Inflators

Dual tires out of sight? Out of reach? Out of air?

Safe travel begins with safe tires.
• On average, one out of every four vehicles on the road today
is being driven with under-inflated tires.
• A tire can lose up to half its pressure without appearing to be
under-inflated.
• Tires can lose one to two psi per month in normal conditions.
• Driving with under-inflated tires is the number one cause of
tire wear and catastrophic blowouts.
Easy to install, the inflation hoses attach to your existing valve stem (no need
to remove your valve core) allowing you to
inflate and equalize your tires in seconds!
A typical dual tire inflator kit includes:
• four stainless steel hoses with
quadruple-crimped plated brass fittings
• mounting brackets • retaining nuts
• valve caps
• all attachment hardware

Suspension Solutions
We’re the suspension experts.
Do you need a custom suspension component?

Motorhome manufacturers make your RV “livable.”
We help make your motorhome “drivable.”
Very few people would say they bought their motorhome (or truck, van or SUV)
for the suspension. For most of us, the suspension is out of sight and out of mind —
even though your driving performance, safety and comfort are all riding on those
components.
The primary benefits of ROADMASTER suspension components are:
• Anti-sway bars — virtually eliminate ‘body roll’ (the vehicle rolls from side to side,
especially during cornering). Anti-sway bars stabilize the vehicle, which keeps it
level through crosswinds, as well as dramatically improving overall handling.
• Steering stabilizers — front tire blow out protection. Stabilizers also automatically
compensate for oversteer caused by pot holes, rut tracks and other unfavorable
road conditions.
• Trac bars — drastically reduce ‘wander’ (the steering feels loose, making it
difficult to keep the vehicle in a straight line).

Every “yes” to the following questions is a “yes” for an anti-sway bar, a steering
stabilizer and/or a trac bar…
• Does the vehicle “roll” when cornering?
• Does driving for an extended period of time leave you physically exhausted?
• Is your rig all over the road — can’t keep it between the lines?
• Would you lose control if one of the front tires blew out?
• Does the steering wheel have a mind of its own?
• Do passing trucks and crosswinds rock your vehicle back and forth?
• Is driving a ‘white knuckle’ experience?

Which component is right for you?

ROADMASTER designs, engineers and manufactures anti-sway bars, steering
stabilizers and trac bars. They work in concert with the other components of your
suspension system to add stability and control.
The chart on this page identifies the primary benefits of aftermarket suspension
products. Each one has value — for a specific application. Use the chart to make
an informed, educated decision about what aftermarket suspension product(s) will
enhance your vehicle’s stability, handling and maneuverability.

Stabilizers and Trac Bars
RSS suspension products are vehicle-specific. To find the stabilizer or TruTrac
bar for your vehicle, visit www.roadmasterinc.com or call 800-669-9690.

Davis TruTrac™

eflex steering stabilizers are a safety feature for Class A and C motorhomes,
SUVs, vans and emergency vehicles. Tempered steel springs, which are attached to the tie rods and undercarriage, automatically compensate for
oversteer caused by pot holes, rut tracks and other unfavorable road conditions,
as well as crosswinds and passing 18-wheelers.
The springs react instantaneously to bring the vehicle back to center.

Made in the U.S.A.

Reflex helps you handle…

• Front tire blow out — when you blow out a front tire, your vehicle will make an abrupt turn
toward that tire, causing you to veer into oncoming traffic or off the road. The stabilizer reacts instantaneously to bring the vehicle back to center.
• Crosswinds and passing traffic — works to keep your steering centered and prevents oversteering to help control your vehicle more effectively.
• Road fatigue — helps you stop fighting the steering wheel for control. The stabilizer keeps the
steering wheel centered — not you.
• Rut tracking — ruts cause you to oversteer. With the Reflex steering stabilizer on board, your
reactions become easier, eliminating overcompensation when steering out of a rut.
• Rut edging — when your tire drops off the edge of the pavement, it can startle even the most
careful driver. The Reflex steering stabilizer keeps you going straight — helping you control the
vehicle until you’re back on the road.
• Pot holes and debris — with the Reflex steering stabilizer in place, the motorhome will stay
straight and go in the direction you want, even when you bounce through a pot hole or other dangerous road condition.

What do our customers say?

“I had a Reflex steering stabilizer installed, and the difference was night and day — my class C
motorhome handles like a sports car. The stabilizer keeps the steering centered, no matter what
the road throws at me. Ruts, bumps and hairpin curves are no problem. My steering wheel doesn’t
belong to potholes any more. It belongs to me.”
— Jerry Miller, Portland, Oregon
To see if a Reflex steering stabilizer is available for your vehicle call us (800-669-9690)
or visit www.roadmasterinc.com.

Does your motorhome vibrate from
side to side?
Are ‘wandering,’
‘rut tracking’ and
‘lazy steering’ a
problem?
Tired and fatigued
trying to keep in line
going down the road?
Davis TruTrac bars link the chassis to the front axle, eliminating
excessive axle side play, without affecting normal up-and-down
suspension travel. The result is precise, predictable handling. The
benefits are an immediate improvement in both vehicle performance and safety, as well as increased driver comfort — more
positive control means less driver fatigue.
Each TruTrac bar comes complete with all mounting hardware,
and installs using pre-drilled factory holes — no drilling or welding required. They will not interfere with original equipment or
affect any factory warranty.
Davis TruTrac bars are available for Ford F53 chassis (V8 and
V10), all Workhorse motorhome chassis (W16, W18, W20, W22
and W24) and Kodiak 45/5500 chassis. They use polyurethane
bushings for maximum stability and longevity.

What do our customers say?

“My F53 chassis would vibrate so bad that it shook the whole
motorhome. The only way to stop the vibration was to slow down
to 20 mph — which almost got me rear-ended twice. Finally my
wife told me, ‘I’m not riding in that motorhome any more.’
A mechanic told me about Davis TruTrac bars. I had one installed and the vibrations stopped immediately. I drove that motorhome for another 150,000 miles (with my wife back on board)
and it was solid as a rock.
Buying that Davis TruTrac bar was the best move I ever made.”
— John Kielty, Reno, Nevada

Anti-Sway Bars

Made in the U.S.A.

Why fight it?
Does your suspension
have the best of you?…beat
you down?…control you?
Driving your RV should be an enjoyable experience. And it can be. Adding a set of RSS anti-sway bars to your
suspension has an immediate effect
on stability and cornering control.
Does your motorhome (or SUV, pickup truck or van) handle like the Queen
Mary? Does it pitch and roll with every gust of wind or passing semi, or list to
port or starboard on the curves, or waddle over speed bumps, railroad tracks
and driveways?
Well, it shouldn’t. As a matter of fact, motorhomes can be made to handle
just like what they are — motor vehicles — with two aftermarket upgrades.
Upgrading your shock absorbers will control up and down motion. But the
best shocks in the world won’t affect side to side motion (the “Queen Mary
effect,” commonly called “body roll” or “sway”) by one iota.

The solution to sway is in the suspension.

Adding a set of custom anti-sway bars to your suspension system will have
the same effect on sway as a good set of shocks has on up and down motion
— there’s an immediate improvement in stability and tracking, especially on
the curves.
For many motorhome owners, this
is an empowering experience. What
was beyond their control, just yesterday, is suddenly within it — cornering
with confidence, quicker maneuvering
and a remarkably level ride over untypical anti-sway bar kit components
even terrain — all without launching
(kits vary)
the dishes out of the cupboard.
And even after eight or 10 hours at the wheel they arrive fresh, instead of
fatigued, which means they can start enjoying the Grand Canyon, the Grand
Tetons or the grandkids right away.

RSS anti-sway bars are built to offer
significantly more resistance to sway than stock bars…
• Bigger is better — RSS anti-sway bars have a thicker diameter
than stock bars (often, a quarter to three-eighths of an inch more).
Each incremental increase in diameter has an exponential effect on
performance — on average, torsional roll stiffness is increased by 30
percent with every 1/8" increase in diameter. In plain English — RSS
anti-sway bars offer up to 90 percent more resistance to sway.
• A high-grade alloy — RSS anti-sway bars are made of 4140 “chromoly” steel (a chrome and molybdenum alloy) which is considerably
stronger and more durable than the standard spring steel (a 1020
grade) used in many stock anti-sway bars.
• A better pivot point — RSS anti-sway bars have polyurethane
bushings, which, unlike the rubber used in stock bushings, is impervious to gas, oil and ozone corrosion, is more resistant to abrasion, and
doesn’t buckle under heavier load weights.

About RSS anti-sway bars…
RSS currently manufactures more than 150 different anti-sway bars for
large vehicles such as pickup trucks, vans and SUVs, and on up to full-size
motorhomes. Whether you’re driving a Ford F350 or a 40-foot Class
A motorhome, we make an antisway bar for you.
And chances are, the next ambulance or rescue vehicle you see will
have an RSS anti-sway bar — RSS
anti-sway bars make it safer and
easier to drive an emergency vehicle at high speeds, and they also
hold it level, so that both patient
and paramedic are on a more stable platform.
Which means that throughout the country, you’ll find a wide variety of
vehicles already equipped with RSS anti-sway bars.
Each RSS anti-sway bar is designed as a custom fit, for a specific chassis.
RSS engineering designs take into consideration chassis and axle manufacturers’ specifications (your warranty will not be affected), and to avoid any
interaction or conflict between the anti-sway bar and popular accessory
add-ons, whether or not they’re presently on your vehicle.
RSS suspension products are vehicle-specific. To find the anti-sway bar

Anti-Sway Bars

RSS anti-sway bar benefits
• Safety — body roll forces more weight to the outside tires, reducing traction. An anti-sway bar distributes the weight evenly over all the wheels.
With more rubber on the road, the vehicle is more stable and responsive.
Sway can force the driver into a series of oversteer reactions, especially
during cornering. Compensating for sway at the steering wheel is dangerous at any speed.
• Comfort — constantly having to correct for sway is not only dangerous,
it’s also physically exhausting. RSS anti-sway bars virtually eliminate sway
caused by crosswinds and weight shift. So even after hours at the wheel, the
driver arrives fresh, instead of fatigued.
What do our customers say?
“I noticed a difference as soon as I stepped into the motorhome — there
was no rocking movement. During a recent trip we encountered substantial
crosswinds. With the RSS anti-sway bar, I estimate our motorhome’s sway
was reduced by 90%. We don’t feel anything now when a tractor trailer
blows by us. I’m 100% satisfied — everyone should experience the benefit
of this product.”
— Johnny Singleton, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
“After installing the (anti-sway) bar, the truck handles like a Ferrari! Unbelievable how this has changed the unfavorable handling characteristics into
a finely-tuned, very user-friendly vehicle with exceptional road manners.
After the installation, I test-drove doing hard swerves…like being on rails! I
highly recommend adding these to your chassis.”
— Carl Sommer, Fort Wayne, Indiana
“…These products WORK and are worth every penny. To have peace of
mind and feel in control of your coach is a fantastic feeling.”
— Dwayne Guida, Loxley, Alabama

Glossary of towing terms
binding — When the tow bar is difficult to detach because of excessive pressure, the tow bar is said to be “bound.” All-Terrain tow bars
(see pages 2 and 3) have a patented latching mechanism which virtually eliminates this problem.
car-mounted — a tow bar designed to be mounted and stored on the
towed vehicle.
curb weight — the total weight of a vehicle and all necessary fluids
(water, coolant, oil and a full tank of gas) when not loaded with either
passengers or cargo.
diode — Diodes allow the towed vehicle’s brake and turn signal lights
to mimic the motorhome’s (which is required by law) without damaging
the towed vehicle’s electrical system. They allow current to flow in only
one direction, eliminating electrical feedback, which could damage
the towed vehicle’s wiring, fuses or other electrical components.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (or “GVWR”) — how much weight a
vehicle is designed to carry. The GVWR includes the net weight of the
vehicle, plus the weight of passengers, fuel, cargo and any additional
accessories. GVWR is a safety standard used to prevent overloading.
hitch (or “receiver hitch”) — the two-inch receiver on the back of the
motorhome where your tow bar connects.
motorhome-mounted — a tow bar designed to be mounted and
stored on the motorhome.
mounting bracket (a.k.a. “bracket”) — connects the towed vehicle to
the tow bar. All mounting brackets are bolted to the subframe of the
towed vehicle.
proportional braking — A supplemental braking system which
brakes at the same time and intensity as the motorhome is called “proportional.” There are two proportional systems in this catalog — a
direct system (BrakeMaster) and a portable system (Even Brake).
removable bracket arms — All tow bar mounting brackets have
arms which extend out from the vehicle. ROADMASTER’s ‘hidden’
brackets (see page 7) have arms that can be easily removed, making
the bracket virtually invisible.
quick-disconnects — the connection point between the tow bar and
the tow bar mounting brackets. These components allow the tow bar to
be quickly connected and disconnected. There is one quick-disconnect
(“QD”) for the driver’s side and one for the passenger side. Quickdisconnects also allow for the mounting of accessories such as the
Guardian.
quick links — used to attach the safety cables. They look like one link
in a chain, and have a nut which can be threaded up or down to open
or close the link.
safety cables — Required by law, safety cables connect the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle. They are a secondary safety device to hold
the vehicles together if the towing system separates for any reason.
stinger — the part of a tow bar that inserts into the motorhome’s receiver hitch. A hitch pin and clip secure the tow bar to the motorhome.
supplemental braking — an independent braking system that
brakes the towed vehicle in tandem with the motorhome.

“After installing the Reflex stabilizer bars, the truck handles like a Ferrari! Unbelievable how this has changed the
unfavorable handling characteristics into a finely-tuned,
very user-friendly vehicle with exceptional road manners.
After the installation I test-drove, doing hard swerves…
like being on rails!”
— Carl Sommer, Fort Wayne, Indiana
“I swerved to avoid a collision with a truck in the wrong
lane, and veered off the road into the brush. I could see
my Ford Explorer in the motorhome’s rear view camera,
whipping back and forth. I thought for sure it was going
to roll on its side. I know a little about physics, and I was
amazed that your Falcon 2 tow bar held it in place. You
folks make a damn good product.”
— Walt Leutwyler, Dallas, Texas
“With your easy-to-follow instructions I had no trouble
at all installing your tow bar mounting bracket on my Nissan Versa. The installation was perfect. I can’t say enough
about the quality of the product, the excellent hardware
package, and again, the excellent instructions. I wouldn’t
have attempted the installation without your instructions.”
— Monty Kelley, Modesto, California
