Brake Buddy Classic 3 Power Source
Question:
Hi, On my 2021 Chevy Spark with manual transmission my negative battery post needs to be unhook for flat towing. Can I use power from my RV to power this system through a six way plug ? Also on hybrid settings is the braking power less than regular setting ? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
You would not want to power your braking system that way because if there was a disconnect between the RV and vehicle your Brake Buddy system # HM39494 would have no power running to it. The # HM39494 comes with the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Item # BB54FR to ensure you're battery stays charged while towing.
Hybrid brakes don't require as much of a push because they are assisted. You'll want to match the style of brakes of the towed vehicle when choosing between the hybrid and standard setting.
