RV Electronics Pty Ltd, a leading manufacturer of Australian-made RV and caravan electronics, has launched its latest innovation, the Handbrake Assist, designed to enhance safety and convenience for caravan and camper trailer owners. 

This new power-assisted handbrake system is engineered to provide effortless braking, significantly reducing the risk of rollaways, the company said in a media release. 

With cutting-edge technology, RV Electronics said the Handbrake Assist simplifies the process of engaging and disengaging the handbrake, allowing users to operate it with minimal effort. 

This product is compatible with a wide range of hitch manufacturers, including AL-KO, Cruisemaster Do35 & Do45, McHitch, OzHitch, ARK, and Lovells, and can be easily installed with rear and side attachment points. 

According to the company, the construction of the Handbrake Assist also ensures long-term reliability and functionality. 

Its user-friendly design includes intuitive controls suitable for users of all ages and physical abilities, featuring a single press ON/OFF system with a manual lockout for enhanced safety. 

The Handbrake Assist also includes a simple override function, allowing the original park brake to be engaged at any time, and a one-pin release for quick disengagement of the system. 

Steven Pasfield, co-owner and head of R&D at RV Electronics Pty Ltd, expressed excitement about the new product, stating, “We are incredibly proud to introduce the Handbrake Assist to our product lineup.” 

He continued, “This product is a testament to our commitment to innovation and safety in the RV and caravan industry. We believe it will make a significant difference in the lives of our customers.” 

The Handbrake Assist, co-developed with Equipment Link RV, marks a groundbreaking advancement in the caravan industry and will be available for purchase starting 9 September 2024 through RV Electronics’ official website and authorised distributors.
