My Roadmaster Invisibrake comes with the dash mounted led wired from the cold side of the brake switch on the toad. It lights when the brake peddle on the tow actually moves.

You'll enjoy having the toad! When I upgraded to a 6 connector cord it allowed for a charge line and a wire from the toad brake lights to a MH cab light. Now I know when the toad brakes are applied. Something to consider when wiring the toad even if you currently have a 4 wire cord.

When we started more extensive traveling the box brake became a pain. Now absolutely nothing to do related to the aux brake as it's 100% automatic.


Iโ€™ve seen those kits. I like them and the fact you donโ€™t have to mess with them. When the time comes to invest in a new brake system Iโ€™ll be looking at something like that. And I like the idea of knowing if the toad brakes are applied. I think I have the extra wire in the cord to do that.
