Most states require the use of supplemental braking for TRAILERS.
I sent out inquiries to every State where I would travel and not one of them required a braking system for a "vehicle in tow" with an RV.
The stipulation being that your combined vehicle still had to stop within a certain distance.
The companies that sell braking systems will all post the requirements for TRAILERS, and never for a vehicle in tow.
All you have to do is contact any State highway patrol and you will get the same answers as I got.
