Expert Reply:
When using any supplemental braking system on any vehicle, I recommend adding a charge line to the vehicle being towed. The Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 is easy to install and simply gives that additional peace of mind that your TOAD will start without any issue once you get to your destination even when it has been a lengthy trip.
This kit simply uses your wiring connection from your motorhome to maintain your vehicle battery so that it is never depleted. It is not required for using the SMI Stay-In-Play Duo # SM99251, but it is a wise investment. Most motorhomes already have the 12V charge line, but if not, you can use the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75.
