Which system is right for me — BrakeMaster, Even Brake, or the 9700?
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 the most reliable braking system, and the easiest to use.
Or a portable? — Even Brake or the 9700 are recommended if you change motorhomes often, or want to switch between towed vehicles. Even Brake is a sophisticated system with proportional braking (automatically increasing or decreasing braking pressure in direct proportion to the motorhome); the 9700 is a basic system which applies a pre-set braking pressure.
Both Even Brake and the 9700 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.
All three systems…
• …include an emergency break away system, to stop your towed vehicle should it ever separate from the motorhome.
• …work in virtually any vehicle with power brakes.
• …can be fitted with second vehicle kits, should you change towed vehicles.
• …will bring your towed vehicle into compliance with U.S. and Canadian requirements. |
