Question:
I am trying to find the absolute best supplemental braking system for a 2023 Airstream Interstate X. That product has a 2022 MB 3500HD dually Sprinter chasis. I would be using it to tow a 2019 FWD manual Mini Cooper.

Expert Reply:
The top of the line and by far the best supplemental braking system is going to be the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251. This is a proportional braking system which is permanently installed. The Stay-IN-Play uses an inertia sensor to detect when you decelerate which in turn will activate your Mini's brakes. This system is made in the USA and comes with a 5 year warranty.
I've added links to a couple of video reviews for you to take a look at.
Some other items you will need to flat tow your Mini are listed below:
Base Plate - Base Model Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1310
S Model Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1312
Tow Bar - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420
