Re: Invisibrake by Roadmaster
In response to cochise49's original post .. I have a F-53 and a 2013 CRV and in setting up to tow I learned ... 1.) The late model F-53's all come with one "standard" wiring harness that has a 12V positive spare wire from the Interior Dome Light switch on the dash that runs all the way to the rear in the wiring harness. It's blue and has a small ID tag on it and it is curled up in the harness and taped back. When you rotate the dome light switch up it will not only turn on the dome light if you have one ( I do not ) but also puts a 12V on the spare blue wire. Thats obviously what the installer used but neglected to explain. I chose to run a dedicated 10 gauge wire from my coach batteries to my CRV toad vehicles battery and fused it with a in-line 30 amp fuse. 2.) AWD with Navi have a constant electrical drain as long as the key is in the tow / Assc position. Pulling the fuse helps but does not stop it completeley. Only solution is running a hot wire from RV back to toad battery. Poor design considering they say to pull fuse when towing.851Views0likes0CommentsReady Brute Elite or Ready Brake on 2013 Honda CRV
I have a 2013 Honda CRV setting up to tow behind my F53 gasser. I really wanted to go with the Ready Brute Elite tow bar which has the Ready Brake built into it. NSA's web site lists a company in San Leandro, Calif. as the closest installer ( a 40 minute drive each way for me ) but when I went there the owner said he dosn't want to do it on a CRV. Says it's " too difficult ". I called NSA and spoke to the boss, he says installers put it on CRV's all the time but " if he dosn't want to do it ,can't make him do it ". I live in N.Calif. in the East Bay Area. Next closest installer is 450 miles away down in L.A. I guess I'll have to go with something else.2.6KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Readybrake may not be an option.

I feel for ya pal. I have a similiar situation. I have a 2013 Honda CRV setting up to tow. I really wanted to go with the Ready Brute Elite tow bar which has the Ready Brake built into it. NSA's web site lists a company in San Leandro, Calif. as the closest installer ( a 40 minute drive each way from me ) but when I went there the owner said he dosn't want to do it on a CRV.
