Expert Reply:

I prefer a supplemental braking system that installs into your 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche. The Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 is the easiest system to use, in my opinion, because after the initial instiall you just flip a switch to set it up when you're ready to tow. You'll also need to install a Stop Light Switch # RM-751220 if the Chevy's brake lights do not illuminate when it's setup to be flat towed.

With a braking system you'll also need a Brake-Lite Relay # RM-88400 to keep the Avalanche's brake signal from overriding the RV's.
