Question:

Looking to flat-tow a 2011 Ford Fiesta automatic, which requires disconnecting the battery, while using an SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 automatic braking system. Can I use a Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle # RM-766 and still have necessary power for brake lights and any other necessary components? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

Yes, you can use the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect part # RM-766 with the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251 on your 2011 Ford Fiesta (Automatic). You will however also need to use the Stop Light Switch # RM-751450 as this will activate the motorhome's brake-monitoring system. The lights will all still work with the battery disconnected.

If you need any other parts to complete your flat-towing setup please let me know and I would be happy to recommend them. I have attached install videos for you as well.
