Can anyone post a review on the Roadmaster even brake 9400

Sorry for delay.ended up sending unit back to even brake. They rebuilt the unit about $300.00. 4 months went by be for using unit.illness . unit worked fine first 1000 miles. Next leg of trip I had the dash display unit come on saying system was braking I was on cruse control, I quickly pulled off road, (didn't want to replace 4 tires again).everything looked good, but I unplugged the. Unit for the rest of trip.I have been Ill for weeks and have not had a chance to check wiring for chafing. I changed unit from a chevy Malibu to Honda crv. Hope to get well soon to check this out. I can the difference without it working.

Personally I never understood the fascination for the portable units when there are so many other options available that don't require removing and reinstalling the control unit every time you want to use the toad. Portability??? How many folks really have two or more toads with all the wiring and base plates installed.

A Ready brake system, for example is virtually independent of the toad and costs less than $500.00. Multiple toads...no problem just add an additional cable kit to each one.

M&G costs ~$650.00 and, if you change toads they will give 50% trade allowance towards a new unit.

Being able to hook up the brake system in less than 10 seconds at less than 1/2 the cost seems to good to pass up. Of course the fact that there is no battery drain means you can tow for days without a concern.

I purchased the Evenbrake in 2008 to use on my new Dodge pickup. The first trip going south I ruined the front brake pads and warped the rotors. This unit was professionally installed by a dealer. What they didn't tell me was the Evenbrake would apply the toad brakes whenever the exhaust brake was applied so on the long down grades the toad brakes would apply. Cost me big bucks to have the brakes repaired plus the cost of selling this junk on ebay at a loss. I've had the M & G brake system for over 7 years and it's functioned flawlessly. No electronics to go south, is proportional and hooks up in 5 seconds.

Since we have towed only one car at a time have not wanted a "portable" unit requiring setup and removal at every stop. Have had a now orphaned US Gear system for two coaches and three different tow'ds. Yes it costs to change over, but just connecting the pigtail on departure and disconnecting on arrival sure makes things easier.

Will switch to M&G Air system when this one gives up the ghost.

The Evenbrake is the first braking system I had and it was used for ~2,000 miles. Never did work very well and it was a pain to hook up and remove. When the remote died and tech support gave me a big run around it was replaced with a Ready Brake....much better system.

The Evenbrake, sans remote, is now a paperweight in my garage.

The Ready Brake was eventually replaced with an M@G air system which, IMHO, is the one of the best braking systems available.

IJhl how did u set your brake in crv. did u use the handle?

rechecked wiring could see no problem. I did readjust legs on even brake and removed handle because I noticed brake was riding up on the seat. I now have a 2 x10 x 16 board between seat and brake. will do a road test in about 5 week. Hope all works out.

njtony,

Please post an update, if you get one. Very interested. Haven't bought yet, but getting close.

just had my first problem with even brake. driving down very rough us 70 in INDIANA and at 60 mph my toad's brakes lock up. Leaving 2 long black marks on hwy, then just as quick they went off. got rv and car to side of road, thank goodness no one rear ended me. all systems checked good. found nothing wrong, but for my reasons, unplugged unit and drove next 2oo miles with no toad braking system. call even brake told them what had happened ( by the way I ran the battery in toad down, left unit on while eating. had to jump toad to run thru gears, Honda. . guy at even brake said it could have been rough road bounced unit around or maybe the wire to evergency had been rubbed thru and grounded system out for a few seconds. I have rechecked system in drive way a works ok. will have to check out wiring later. and by the way will need two new tires as I flat spotted both front tires. Now I knowhow a nascar driver feels, almost went to the cord. Other than that has worked great for five years.

I've had one since 2012 season and haven't had any problems, moved it from my '06 CRV to my new Subaru, has always worked as advertised.
