Had a great <30 minute service appointment at Roadmaster headquarters in Vancouver, WA (across the river from Portland, OR). They diagnosed, replaced, and tested a compressor that went bad on my InvisiBrake. Out the door in under 30minutes and $0 charge. Just thought I'd share this positive since, like many, I tend to obsess on what's wrong vs. right about things in general.

Funny story? It looked like a Fiat 500 meetup in their parking lot this AM. Seems to be a very popular dinghy choice.

Best,

Thanks for sharing your experience! I too have an InvisiBrake system in my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. How did you discover that your InvisiBrake had an air compressor problem? Did you have any symptoms while driving?

First I noticed that the toad brake monitor light stopped illuminating whenever I used the RV brakes. Then I noticed that it was indeed taking me longer to stop. Lastly, I did a manual brake test by pulling the breakaway pin out: was able to confirm the compressor was turning on, but no pressure was being built up and the cable was remaing slack as to not engage the brake at all.
