    Now that RVibrake3 is set up and settings are selected, it’s time to start towing. The purpose of RVibrake3 is to take the weight of the towed vehicle off of the motorhome in a braking and reduce stopping distance. RVibrake3 is activated by an accelerometer that detects changes in inertia, the same force that draws your chest forward in a braking.

    Q. I have to disconnect my battery for towing. Can I power the RVibrake3 with the motorhome from my umbilical cord? A. You never want to power your RVibrake3 off of the motorhome. If you have a breakaway, then the RVibrake3 no longer has power. You need it connected to the towed battery.
