• Correct Wiring Harness to Install Curt Brake Controller on 2020 Chevy Equinox
• Equinox models equipped with the tow package will have blunt-ended tow package wiring located behind the side panel of the center console on the driver's side next to the gas pedal instead of a connector.

• Correct Replacement Breakaway Switch Key for the Demco Stay-In-Play Duo
• The Replacement Breakaway Switch Key for Even Brake & Brake Pro # RM-200200-20 is only designed to work with the Roadmaster Even Brake and Brake Pro Breakaway Systems so it's not going to work with your Demco Stay-In-Play Duo.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Chevy Equinox Behind an RV
• You are correct about active air shutters; they are motorized. Since your 2017 Chevy Equinox does not have them or adaptive cruise control you can use Blue Ox base plates # BX1689.

This tow bar is rated for up to 6,500 pounds and it comes with safety cables. For lighting I recommend the diode kit # RM-15267. It also comes with a coiled umbilical and a connector...

• Are Trailer Brakes Brakes Needed for 1000 lb Pop-Up Camper
• It will depend on what state you are located in. In most states, trailer brakes aren't required unless the trailer weighs 3500 lbs or more. This being said, if your pop-up is already equipped with them, it's not a bad idea to use them. If your popup is equipped with brakes, and you'd like to use them, the easiest way to make that happen if you have a smart phone would be by using the Curt Echo # C51180. If your Equinox has a 7-way trailer connector, the controller install would be plug...
