maggie blair Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hello all, I am nailing down my toad set-up and a RV place suggested the SMI Duo instead of the RoadMaster InvisiBrake. does anyone have any suggestions on which of these would be best. Thanks ahead of time. Maggie Maggie Blair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Both of them have a good reputation and their supporters. I am a firm believer in using an auxiliary brake on any towed vehicle but there are many very good choices available. We used the Brake Buddy for all of the years we towed, 12 full-time and 5 part-time. I found them to be an excellent product that performs as they claim.

stripit Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I just had the SMI Duo system installed into my 2015 Cadillac SRX to tow behind my motorhome. Small, compact and easy to operate. One switch to turn on or off. I'm more than impressed with not only the installer I chose but the operation of the unit. I did a little bit of investigation before going with the SMI unit and think I made a good choise. Pricing between the Roadmaster Invisabrake was close but I went with the unit i felt was best for my use. The braking is seemless when i stop and no jerking motions or hard pulling from the toad vehicle. Feels like the motorhome & toad are stopping as one unit.

RVBuiltForTwo Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 You might check out RVI Brake (http://rvibrake.com/). Installation was easy and required no wiring. We love it, and it's had great reviews. Trippin' Engles @ RVBuiltForTwo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
