I bought into the 1/2 ton towable, and while my 1500 Ram did ok locally, as soon as I went into the Smokies, I decided to upgrade to a 2500 mostly for the brakes as I warped a new set of high end front rotors, even down shifting and gradually pumping the brakes to keep my speed in check.
I camped next to a guy that had a 29' Cougar with bunks and a Tundra and was happy to see him leave before me.
If your just camping near by, and no steep grades to have to slow down for you might be ok short term.
You didn't have enough trailer brakes dialed in. The trailer should stop itself and the truck should stop =itself=. If you feel the trailer starting to push your truck, then you need to pull over and let everything cool down.

My rotors are original with 185,000 miles.
