Braking adapter recommendations sought

We ordered a Tiffin Wayfarer and are looking at towed car options. We want something small, the Chevy Spark looks promising. What are people recommending for a braking adapting system? Definitely want the permanently installed route rather than the brake pedal pushing units. One complication with the Spark is that to tow it, you need to disconnect the battery negative, but I imagine that you could keep the tow adapter powered while disconnecting the rest of the vehicle's power system.

You will get all kinds of recommendations. I installed Invisibrake and it works flawlessly. You can disconnect the battery from the Spark and only power the braking unit from the battery itself. I would add a charge line to keep the Spark battery up to charge while you tow.

We use the NSA ReadyBrute towbars with built-in ReadyBrake. It's simple, yet effective, and low cost! No problems in 7 years use!
