Expert Reply:
I recommend the Stay-IN-Play Duo part # SM99251 for the 1996 Suzuki Sidekick. The Stay-IN-Play is a permanent installation with a concealed operating unit under the dash that activates an actuating cylinder to depress the brake pedal with the motor home brakes. The small cylinder also stays in the vehicle near the brake pedal out of the way for driving the vehicle once you get to your destination. The Stay-IN-Play is the best option because once you have it installed you don't have to remove any of it's components to drive the vehicle compared to the portable systems that have to be removed from the driver's floor board each time you want to drive the Suzuki which can become a nuisance.
The Stay-IN-Play DUO is for motor homes with hydraulic brakes, if your motor home has air brakes you need the Air Force One part # SM99243 which is the same system but for air brakes.
You will also need a base plate, wiring, safety cables and a high low adapter. Please let me know if you do not have the other components of the flat towing setup and I can help you further.
