RVibrake Shadow Compatibility & Fit (Physical Design)

A. RVibrake Shadow will fit in most vehicles - however, you'll want to take a look under your hood so that you can assess whether you have space for the various components. We do have a 3D viewer on our website where you can view the Shadow and Booster Boxes in actual proportions using augmented reality. 

The only vehicles that will not work with Shadow are vehicles with Hydroboost/hydraulic brakes.

A. RVibrake Shadow takes about 2 hours to install and is designed to be installed by the end user.

 A.  Yes. Like RVibrake3, Shadow is truly proportional. As long as the Shadow Box is mounted forward (using the arrows provided on the Box as guides) and is mostly level, Shadow will accurately measure inertia using its onboard accelerometer, braking accordingly as needed. Like RVibrake3, this does mean that Shadow will not come on during every braking situation - only braking situations where it needs to take the weight of the towed vehicle off the motorhome.

 A.  There are three primary components: The Shadow Box (which houses the accelerometer, WiFi chip, and "brain" functions of the unit), the Booster Box (which houses a compressor and is responsible for the vacuum/pressure functionality), and the Brake Pedal Cylinder Assembly (which is what physically attaches to your pedal and retracts when a braking occurs).
