Expert Reply:
There are a few options available for your 2012 Chevrolet Equinox. You can either use a hard wired system like the Roadmaster Invisibrake # RM-8700, which will get installed permanently to the vehicle. On the other hand, you can use non-permanent kits like the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400, which can be moved between different tow vehicles.
Both of these options are an excellent choice for your 2012 Equinox, however, I personally recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700. Simply because, I prefer to install this once and have it be ready at all times, rather than set it up each time I'd like to use it.
The stop light kit # RM-751471 is also required for installation of this kit, and allows your motorhome brake-monitoring system to be notified when the brakes are being applied.
