I just picked up a great deal on a almost NEW RVIBrake3 Aux. braking system for my car. (Only used 3 times then the guy sold his MH)
It comes with the main brake system that tells you what to do so you don't screw things up.
It will work totally my itself as it has an inertia system that applies brakes in the toad.
It has a Table for inside the Motorhome to monitor when the brakes are applied in the toad and if their is any problems back there.
With the tablet you can test the brakes before you start out and can make adjustment in sensitivity while driving as well as other things.
It also has a Hub you can use to level your rig and interface with other stuff RVI has to sell you like tire monitors for the tires which interfaces to the tablet.
Does anyone have one already and want to tell us what you think or if you have a question ask away.
I have a Vantage Select Brake Buddy unit which works similar to the RVI unit you’re showing.
Just one question....how does the part that clamps to the brake pedal, brace itself when it applies pressure on the brake pedal? My Brake Buddy is taller and you move your driver seat into position for the Brake Buddy to press against.
In your photo (I included) the unit looks like it’s lower than the seat....or is it bolted to the floor?

It is not bolted to the floor and is much smaller than the Brake Buddy.
The pictures I have are from the seller posting and not my car.
See video here which should explain and show how it works.
The RVIBrake 3 system with hub and tablet.
I also added the battery charging plus module for the toad battery while towing even though I have never had and issues getting to the campground and finding a dead battery. It keep the toad battery charged from the motorhome 12 volt circuit
The RVI3brake system is easy after you understand what you have and how it works.
It talks to you and tell you what to do when you place it in the toad.
It also tell you if you did it wrong and tells you to unplug and start over again.
You can use the brake system without the Hub or tablet but it give driver some feeling of control and monitoring while driving.
All devices have their own proprietary wifi QR code and is all loaded into the android tablet.
The tablet then is a monitor of the system for setup and while driving.
You can test the system by the touch screen tablet while rolling slowly forward.
You can also monitor the RVI battery charger plus module that shows you the voltages of the motorhome to the toad as well as the toad battery and the amperage its getting if needed from the motorhome.
The Hub also acts as a bubble balance when you are leveling at the campground and show you on the tablet which side needs to be raised or lowered.
So far the system has worked flawlessly for me and ready for my cross country trip.
The tablet hooks up to the company via wifi if their is any software updates.

Any questions about the system ask away.
I picked the RViBrake3 because it was the only one with brake lock detection (according to my research). It was a little more expensive but piece of mind is worth alot. Several stories on forums where people's brakes lock up in the toad without them knowing and they wound up rebuilding whole frontend.

I really like the RVBrake3 system
Can someone shoot me a picture of the QR Code on the back of their user manual, I am trying to set my RVIBrake 3 to my tablet, but I don't have a QR Code.

Thank you in advance

I can swing out to my rig tomorrow and get your photo
The codes are unique to the unit and serial numbers . Call RVI and they will email you what you need if you have the serial numbers of HUB and the RVI3 system.
