Question:
I’m considering buying the demco stay in play. Can the battery of 2008 Jeep Wrangler still be disconnected as the manual indicates? Does the power come from the MH or must the jeep battery stay connected? Is so is there a trickle charge involved in the stay in play system?

Expert Reply:
The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 is going to be connected to your vehicle's battery to be powered which will drain your vehicle's battery. To keep the battery charged while towing you can install the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Item # BB54FR. You'll still be able to disconnect the negative battery cable like the manual indicates for flat towing.

I recently had a Demco Duo Stay n Play installed in my 2021 Jeep Wrangler. When I went to pick it up at the installation site, The vehicle wouldn’t start, the battery had to be charged and was tested as good. Today 3-4 weeks later and with little use and storage in my garage. The vehicle again wouldn’t start and the electrical system behaved erratically and the Demco unit was clicking constantly until I disconnected my (-) battery clamp. I recharged the battery to fully charged and the vehicle started as it should. I’m waiting to hear back from the installation company Camping World, I have a long trip scheduled to start in two days. Any help to ensure I don’t continue to have an issue will be greatly appreciated.
