No experience with RV12, we have been using invisabrake from Road Master for five years now without any issues. It is a permanent install.

I use the BLUE OX, that I take out each time. We have 2 toads one BLUE OX. No big deal. Set it on the floor, slide the break on move the seat forward. Turn the power on & it does the rest. I think all the ones that set on the floor work the same way. It was a good choice for us.

I'm not familiar with that brand. Because we are a DP we went with the SMI product. They also make a unit for gas units. We have many friends who are super happy with it. Its easy to use and set up

Have had my RVI2 system for almost two years, use it on my 2012 Jeep Unlimited Rubicon. Very light weight, easy to hook up, comes with a monitor you plug into a 12 volt receptacle in coach next to the driver that allows you to see connectivity and you can adjust sensivity and vehicle type for proper braking. You can also get TPMS for the toad that displays pressure and temp on the same monitor. No complaints with around 12,000 miles of towing. Would purchase again without hesitation.

i have been using the M&G engineering for about 47,000 miles and had no troubles and hook up is easy and 100% propositional.

I have the RVI2 and it works but has its drawbacks. The antenna broke off when I was removing the unit from the brake pedal. After receiving a new antenna I was very careful with the unit but still the next antenna still broke off. I don't know about other units but my RVI2 loses connection to my monitor quite often for maybe a minute or two and then reconnects.

We use the Air-force-1 and couldn't be happier. Easy to use and nothing to move.

We have exactly the same coach as you (colors and all). We just had an Air Force 1 installed to tow a 2016 Ford Edge. We installed a Blue Ox base plate and use a Blue Ox Aventa tow bar. Rather than disconnect the negative side of the battery we had a battery charge line installed. So far the whole system seems to work very well. Good luck with whatever you choose.

We have been using the InvisiBrake, installed at the factory 30 miles from our home, for six years now without a single issue. The system requires you to disconnect the battery so we installed a battery disconnect.
What is InvisiBrake?
InvisiBrake is a fully-automatic supplemental braking system that uses the electrical connections already in place on your towed vehicle (the towed vehicle’s electrical harness) to brake when you brake the motorhome — the same electrical signal that activates the towed vehicle’s brake lights also activates InvisiBrake.

X2 the M&G system. I had it on my Entegra and now have it on my Foretravel. It's very easy to hookup and doesn't need any electrical connection on the toad. I recommend it.

Air Force One.... there nothing easier, better, and given that level of performance, cheaper, in my opinion.
