Forget the weight of the motor home, it does not matter. Weight of towed does.
I'd get a partner and a wide gravel road.. No traffic (or a good gravel surface,, A hard stop (Locked wheels on motor home) should either lock, or almost lock the wheels on the towed when on gravel... (I like almost myself) On pavement the towed should not lock up even if the motor home does.
here is why: If the toweds wheels lock the towed may start sliding about and try to "Swap ends" with the motor home (Jacknife)
But if they ALMOST lock.. Well, that's maximum braking power.
