Evenbrake taillight setup for Subaru Outback
The 2003 Itasca 27 MH I bought came with a Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain towbar and an Evenbrake unit, but nothing else to go on the toad. So I bought the correct cross-bar and base-plate attachment...

I just installed one in my 2nd towed. You do not need the relay if you use the magnetic brake lights, the relay prevents the brake lights from coming on when your are towing it.
You do however need to connect a wire from the cold side of the brake light switch to the towed's ICX (The transmitter box with the antenna). This wire sends a signal to the ICX telling the unit the brakes are applied, and will send a signal to the remote in the RV that will trigger a red light, and change the display from "Ready" to "Braking". The EvenBrake also has a feature if the brakes are applied for to long it will automatically release them, as well as alert you if it does not, this wire needs to be connected for that to happen.
EDIT: The wire from the cold side of the brake light switch plugs into Terminal #1 on the ICX Transmitter.
