Installing roadmaster hitch in Perth


I'm looking at getting the roadmaster falcon 2 hitch including the invisibrake unit from janer.com.au , only I'm in Perth and they don't have any recommended installers over this way, at least they are a bit vague about installers over here and they're trying to tell me I can just do most of it myself. confuse I'm in the middle of doing ring around trying to find someone that can install the system, does anyone know of anyone local in Perth that has done it before?

I'm rapidly changing my mind about the roadmaster hitch.. It costs about $4100 to get it here, then at least $500 to attach the mounting brackets to my car with one installer. Then I have to find someone to install the braking system in the car as well as the monitoring light and alarm buzzer in the motorhome. The supplier suggested it may cost about $1500 all up, depending...

Just phoned parkside towbars and they have hitch-n-go's in stock, can supply and fit them in about 4 hours including everything, braking system, lights system for the car etc, for less than $4200.

They may not be as fancy, but it's going to be a lot cheaper and easier.

I ended up going with the hitchngo in the end, they have a local supplier here in Perth, and Parkside towbars installed the whole lot in less than 4 hours for a total cost including installation, that was less than the supply only price of the roadmaster. Also, I was told that the roadmaster towing devices don't have engineering certification here in Australia, so if anything goes wrong insurance could be a serious issue. Don;t know how true this is, but I'm pretty happy so far with the hitch n go experience, see how I feel about it in 6-12 months.
