Advice on tow dolly behind my Class A Gasser

I've been told by my Toyota dealer that I can't convert my RAV4 to flat tow so I now must look at a tow dolly. I've rented a U-haul years ago and they don't come with brakes of any kind. My first question is, do I need brakes on the tow dolly? My next question is are there any brands that I should not even consider? We were going to rent another U-haul for the trip from North Carolina to South Texas, but $500 seemed a bit much for only 4 days rental. Looks like one of us will drive the coach while the other drives the car for this trip.

    2wd or 4wd Rav4? Wife has a 2003 4wd Rav4 and no way you could do a dolly with it.. Remco trans pump is the only option and then you can just flat tow it.

    Good luck!

    We've been towing first a 2002 RAV4 and currently a 2011 RAV4 for a total of nearly 50,000 miles. I did have to install a Remco transmission pump to make them towable, but it is doable as long as you have the correct transmission.
