• Recommended Braking System To Flat Tow A 2011 Mini Copper
  The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Item # RM-8700 is not meant for mountains so you'll be better off using the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional Item # BLU37TR.

Since you plan on going through multiple mountain ranges the safest bet is to use a system that is capable of handling the terrain changes you'll be going through. It...

• Is the 3,500 lb Rating for Curt C80136 Safety Cables Per Cable or Per Pair?
  Hi Joseph, the 3,500 pound rating on part # C80136 is for each individual safety cable, not the pair. That said, the ratings are not added together, so the maximum weight of the vehicle or trailer being towed still cannot exceed 3,500 pounds. The reason is that each cable is designed to be capable of supporting the entire load on its own in the event of a disconnect. If your towed vehicle or trailer weighs more than 3,500 pounds, I'd recommend stepping up to a higher rated set of safety...

• How Long Should Safety Chains Be for Trailer
  Since safety chains pivot underneath the trailer when making turns it's typically not a situation where a significant length of safety chain is needed to allow sharp turns to be made. Basically you'd want to measure the distance between the safety chain loop on the trailer and the loops of the hitch and give yourself and additional bit of slack. The part # C80136 measures 42 inches and is coiled too to keep it off of the ground.

• Complete Roadmaster Flat Towing Set Up For 2022 Chevy Spark LT w/ Manual Transmission
  Those parts will indeed fit your 2022 Chevy Spark LT with manual transmission, but there is one change I highly recommend, which is a tow bar different than the Falcon 2 # RM-520.

It will be much, much simpler for you to disconnect a non-binding tow bar with quick-release latches, the Falcon All-Terrain. The All-Terrain also has guides for the wiring so the...

• Size of S-Hooks on the Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables Part # C80136 and Part # C80176
  The Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # C80136 contain s-hooks that are 3/8" diameter and the Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables part # C80176 contain s-hooks that are 1/2" diameter. The 3/8" diameter s-hooks would be much too small for the safety chain loops on your 2-1/2" trailer hitch but the 1/2" ones should work well for you. They have a 7,500 lb capacity and measure 42" long. I have attached a review video for you.

  Safety chains and cables, such as the Curt Single Hook # C80136, are generally attached to the trailer itself and not the coupler. If your trailer does not have any good mounts on which to attach the cables, you can install some like the Brophy Mounting Bracket # MB12. I have attached a short video demonstration on this part that you can also check out.
