Question:
I have a 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium with manual transmission. I wish to know if the Invisibrake 8700 hundred is compatible with the braking system on this vehicle. Also which lighting system is appropriate with the 8700. I am inclined toward the bulb and socket system but am not sure if this is best for the Invisibrake. Thank you

The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 will work well for your 2016 Subaru Forester, and it has been confirmed to fit all models of the Forester. I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and confirmed the InvisiBrake is compatible with the braking system in your Forester.
The Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs # RM-155 is a great choice for towed vehicle lighting on your 2016 Forester. This kit helps protect your vehicle's lighting since it bypasses the Forester's lights. The bulb and socket kit will connect to the trailer socket on your motor home to activate tow lights for your Forester. This light kit and the InvisiBrake are both manufactured by Roadmaster and will work well together.
I have attached installation videos of the InvisiBrake # RM-8700 and bulb and socket kit # RM-155 on a similar vehicle to yours for you to have an idea of the installation of these components.
Other components needed to flat tow your Forester are base plates, a tow bar, and safety cables. For base plates, as long as your manual transmission is non-Turbo, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # 52923-5. A great tow bar is the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar # RM-520. For safety cables, you will want Roadmaster 68 Inch Safety Cables # RM-643. Other components you may need are a high low adapter to be able to tow your vehicle level and a wiring extension to connect your vehicle wiring to your motor home. I have linked both of these product listings for you.
I have attached a help article on flat towing for you.
