We started with a Roadmaster tow rig with the brakemaster system on our Saturn and used that for 3 1/2 years. We recently bought a Jeep Wrangler 4 door and used the same tow system. We bought a new base plate, and also this time went to the Invisibrake system. It seemed like I was always having to install the brakemaster when it was 100 degrees and I would be dripping sweat.
Our experience with Roadmaster is that it is a high quality durable system. We never had any kind of failure in 3 1/2 years. I just picked up my Jeep this afternoon after having to replace the first Invisibrake as it failed. Actually I don't think it ever worked. If it did for five minutes and then poooof. The second one worked for the 15 miles I towed it this afternoon. So so far the second one works.
I am sold on Roadmaster. However I think the jury is still out on Invisibrake.
Invisibrake pros
1. It is there and no need to install it every time like brake master
2. No air hose hook up
Invisibrake cons
1. You must turn on your parking brake lights to use it. The problem is me remembering to turn them off.
2. Invisibrake activates the Jeep's brakes when my engine brake goes on and the brake lights activate. It only keeps the brakes on for 15 seconds, but still I don't think I like that. Brakemaster did not have this issue.
