This is always a hot topic. If it gets moved to the Towed Vehicles forum where it belongs all the squirrels will attack and you'll be sorry you ever asked the question.
I bought a Blue Ox tow bar and an RVi2 brake system used on Craig's List. The only thing the brake did was run my toad battery down. Next season I'm going to run a second light socket in the tail lights and put a switch on the toad brake lights. I don't thing the diode system works.
Bottom line, required or not, safety and insurance companies dictate that brakes are a good idea.
