Braking System for Gas Motorhome

After dealing with 3 separate electrical component failures with a US Gear system (always in the middle of a trip), I got a Ready Brake. I'll never go back to an electrical system.

We are looking at choices and opinions foe supplemental braking systems for a gas motorhome wirh hydraulic brakes. We had the MG system on our prior diesel coaches but the MG system is a lot of $$$ when using hydraulic brakes. We paid $1200 for Diesel Breaking but now is costing us $800 just to add equipment to gasser. Is this the case with most systems?

If you already have the tow bars, then.... READYBRAKE
and if not, then.... READYBRUTE/ELITE

I believe you have the Roadmaster 9060 Brakemaster system. We have used the same system on both our 2001 gas motorhome and our current 2013 gas motorhome. We left the compressor and other associated hardware in our old motorhome when we traded it off. We purchased a new "second motorhome" kit from E trailer for our new motorhome. It cost less than $600.00 in April of last year.

X3 on the Readybrake. You just can't beat it, IMO - No electronics to foul up and fry your brakes (like some brake in a box type systems have been known to do). Nothing to have to put in and take out every time you tow. Just a simple, no-nonsense cable operated braking system that simply works.

And to top it all off, it costs less than half what you'll pay for any of the other systems. Even less than that, actually, if you haven't bought your tow bar yet, and get their ReadyBrute elite tow bar and braking system package. In that case, you get a tow bar and braking system for 'bout the same as you'd pay for just a tow bar from anyone else.

We've been using Readybrake system ever since we first started with the MH, and wouldn't want anything else.

Ready Brake System

All of the brake-in-a-box systems will work well for you. We use and like the RVi2 brake. Most of these systems are in the $800-$1200 range.

You signature lists an Entregra coach - are you getting rid of it?

The ReadyBrute integrated towbar/braking system can't be beat, IMO.
If you already have a good towbar, the same company makes the ReadyBrake that can be used with any towbar.
A break-away system is also available, if desired.

The $529 ReadyBrake system works as is on both DP's and gassers. It's highly regarding by most of us that use one.
