..My advise would be, skip both, do yourself a huge favor, save yourself a bunch of $$ and get you a ReadyBrake system instead.

Just can't beat it, IMHO. Costs significantly less than all the others, nothing to have to put in or take out, no electronics to foul up and damage your toad's brakes, very simple one-time installation of cable to the brake pedal. Just a simple, no-nonsense cable operated brake system that simply works.

If you haven't bought a tow bar yet, and get their ReadyBrute elite tow bar package, you end up getting a tow bar AND their braking system for almost the same $$ as you'd pay for a comparable tow bar from anyone else. That approach can save you over $1000 from what you're going to pay for the Invisibrake or Blue Ox Patriot.

Just a much better choice, IMHO.

What he said!

Another vote for the ReadyBrute/Ready Brake system.

x3 on the RVi2 if you want that type of actuator. It's the only one with remote adjustments, monitoring and actuation from the MH driver's seat.

X2 on the RVi2, it's a great product.

I have an RVI2 brake it is compact and easy to set up and has a remote to change setting or just monitor. It took me a long time to decide because I was looking at Blue ox but went with RVI

I have the Blue Ox Patriot and like it and haven't had any problems. It has a remote that is on the dash so you can change the settings. I do run a charge line although I doubt I need it. I have read some posts about recently about Roadmaster unit having problems. Except for reading those posts don't know anything about the Roadmaster unit.
