Hey, everybody! Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Demco Stay-in-Play braking system here on our 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. So nearly every state nowadays requires a towed vehicle. Over a certain amount requires a supplemental braking system. Our Jeep here is going to exceed that weight in pretty much all States. So in order to remain legal while you're towing your vehicle, you're going to need a supplemental braking system. To stay in play Duo is one of our personal favorite supplemental braking systems here at E-trailer, both from an ease of use side a performance side, and an ease of installation side.
So it's definitely one of our favorite ones. We're going to go over now, why we think it's the best. So the state in play is going to be a proportional braking system. And what that means is the brakes here in our toad are going to be applied in an amount proportional to that in our towing vehicle. Therefore, if we really slam on the brakes in our motor home we're going to get a lot of braking force being sent to the brakes here on our vehicle, as opposed to us just barely pressing the brakes on our motor home.
We're not going to get a lot of force into the brakes here. So we don't have to worry about locking up our brakes or anything like that. So the Stay-In-Play isn't the only supplemental braking system out there. There are several from other manufacturers. So we talked about the Stay-in-Play being the best.
Now, one thing it does really well is it sort of has a permanent install rather. So there are a couple of different types of installations for braking systems. You may be familiar with the portable systems which are something you have to take in and out of the vehicle each time. It's basically a box that sits in the driver foot well and presses up against the brake pedal. They use wireless signal.
They're super easy to install but it's something that you're going to have to take out put in and and do adjust each time you get inside the vehicle. And you want to tell it, whereas with the Stay-in-Play here, whenever we're ready to tow we're simply just going to flip a switch we have mounted inside the vehicle, and there, we're ready. We don't need to do any adjustments; installing- it's just a simple flip of the switch. So we talked about comparison to some of the other portable systems. Now let's talk a little bit more about comparison to comparing some of the actual permanent systems that compete with this, here. There's a couple of other ones out in the market, but again the reason we like to stay in place is because it's so much easier to install even more so than the other permanent systems. Now, the reason for this is pretty much everything is going to be done here on the towed vehicle side. We're actually not making too many modifications. Some of the other braking systems on the market they actually require you to splice into the brake lines on our motor home which is not really something we want to do. So not having to do that and having minimal modifications to the towed vehicle here are definitely some of the reasons why we really like to stay in play. And I feel you guys will too. So a big concern or rather issue about using supplemental braking systems is that sometimes we can have false braking or we obviously want to know, if there's an issue on our vehicle and it does come detached from the motor home, worst case scenario. We want to be alert to what's happening so we can pull over as soon as possible. So there's tons of safeguards built into the base plate, safety cables, and tow bars, to prevent that from happening. But to let us know what's going on with the braking system we don't necessarily usually have a cut and clear method for this. But with these stand plate here they have a nice new design. It's actually a little bit of a redesign on the previous model. The previous model used a monitor light, which basically mounted in the rear view mirror of the towed vehicle. And it would eliminate when the brakes are being applied in our vehicle. We don't have to worry about looking back every five seconds to see if that monitor light's going off. We want to be able to keep our eyes on the road and what's in front of us. Which is why Demco developed this little monitor light here. So, this is actually going to be sinked up to a wireless transmitter inside the towed vehicle. And whenever the brakes are depressed on the towed vehicle this is going to light up. So it's gonna to let us know what's going on in our towed vehicle. So we get as much notice as possible if there's any issues
