Flat-spotted Dinghy Tires.
I'm currently on a trip in the SW (St George, UT) and towing a 2014 Honda CR-V. My Road-Master Even-Brake system locked up the wheels on the CR-V and squared off the tires trying to stop the MH. It co...

Pangaea Ron - Something was not right. I did some testing with mine as it was new to me, I am the second owner, and wanted to test a few things to see if it worked as advertised. Here is what mine does under various tests, I would think yours would operate the same.
Note: The tests were all done on a closed private paved roadway, at no time was the speed more than 25 MPH. I would never advocate or recommend you allow anyone to ride in the TOAD, but I did to test it. I had a willing buddy who was interested as he has one, so he rode in the TOAD and I drove the MH.
1 - After 20 seconds of brake application, the EvenBrake released the TOAD brakes on it's own. Interesting thing on this was, the red light on the remote stayed on. I am guessing the brake light relay sends the signal to the box in the TOAD, which sends the signal to the remote.
2 - If my buddy presses the brake pedal while we are in motion, and the MH brakes are not applied, the red light on the remote comes on, it sounds an alarm, and it tells you on the remote display the brakes are applied. I found this only happens if you the brake light switch relay is installed.
3 - If I apply the brakes on the MH, and after I stop, if my buddy pushes down on the brake pedal and holds it there, and I release the MH brakes, the red light will light on the remote, and the alarm will sound on it.
I would have thought if the brakes were still applied you should have had a visual, as well as audible alarm. Since that did not happen, I would think there is a problem with the the brake light relay switch not working, or the box that acts as the transmitter in the TOAD. The remote in the MH is only a receiver. I would be interested in what RoadMaster has to say.
