To Brake assist or not to brake assist ?
Ok, new to the Class A lifestyle, had a Fifth wheel in the past. Looking to setup my tow vehicle. I purchased a 2019 Kia Soul, weighs less than 3,000 lbs. So question is this. Go with no brake ass...

In all the years I've been poking around RV forums, I have never heard of a toad breaking free and playing Hopper on the highway. I've have, however, heard of people leaving their brakes on and the toad catching fire because the wheels were being dragged down the road by a clueless RV driver with so much HP in the coach that they didn't notice the additional drag. I personally stopped a class A leaving a Carolina Crossroads in NC with his toad brakes on. This would indicate that brakes cause more problems than they solve.
I have seen maybe a couple cases on this forum of a toad breaking free. Please don't ask me to put my finger on one though. Regardless, that still doesn't necessarily point to having/not having aux brake as much as maybe not having a break away devise. I do agree with you though, aux brake systems certainly can be responsible for causing damage.
