Recommended Towed Braking System for a 2019 GMC Acadia

Question:

Ive been looking at using the Roadmaster Invisibrake Towed vehicle system. Do you have any videos installing this one on the 2019 Acadia? Any other recommendations on Towed brake system.

We have not had the chance to install the Roadmaster Invisibrake on a GMC Acadia yet, but since you are looking or recommendations, I'd strongly urge you to consider the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System, # SM99251.

I prefer the Stay-IN-Play Duo over the InvisiBrake primarily because it is a proportional braking system meaning it has a sensor that will apply the brakes in your tow vehicle with the same intensity as the brakes in your motorhome and main box of the unit fits under the hood of your car, completely out of the way.

Don't get me wrong, the InvisiBrake is a quality product, and I would have no problem using it, but the box has to mount somewhere in your vehicle, usually under a seat or in the rear cargo area where the dials can be bumped or accidentally changed and it is uses pre-set braking, meaning you set the braking to a specific intensity and that is the intensity it applies every time you brake.

We have had a chance to install the Stay-IN-Play Duo on a 2019 Acadia, so I attached the video for you to check out.
