Question:
Can this battery disconnect switch be installed on a 2020 equinox for flat towing behind my motorhome?
asked by: Brian H
Expert Reply:
Yes, you can Brian. While GM does not require you to install the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect item # RM-766 to flat tow your 2020 Chevy Equinox you can still do it. You will lose all your preset settings though for your radio and your seats. It's recommended to install the Battery Charge Line Kit item # RM-156-25 to keep your Equinox's battery from dying on your trips. This is especially important for braking systems that draw power off of your Equinox's battery.
What specific model Equinox do you have and do you have a charge line installed?
