Anyone with the even-brake (tow car brake)? Would you give the pros and cons or any other comments on this braking system?

I have the Even Break by Road Master and like it and have towed with it for 4 years and over 20,000 miles with no problems. We have the whole Road master system tow bar and base plate. It has a radio that you plug inside your coach and plug in to your 12 volt socket. This sends a message to the even break and lets you know things are ok. We have nothing but good to say about Road master or the even break.

I have had one for 6 yrs now and sometimes it works well and other times it says :breaking" and won't quit. Coming home from Florida this spring I went over a small bump and it slammed the rear brakes on the toad and flat spotted both new tires and I had to replace them. It is not supposed to do that but it did...now can't trust it anymore.

Used mine for a little over two years and the control board decided to go bad on me. My Explorer has an electronic transmission and when it went bad, it would drop out my neutral tow capability. Think goodness it went bad when I was setting it up and not on the road. I tossed it in my junk bin at home, decided that even if I got it fixed, I wouldn't ever trust it again. Still think its here if anyone needs parts.

Other people have used it a lot with no problems.
