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...

I guess it is possible but I can't even imagine how a toad can break loose unless someone tried to cut corners. I mean you have to have both arms of the tow bar fail, as well as both tow chains, or perhaps your hitch broke loose and the entire tow bar came loose. In that case, you still have the two tow chains. I never trusted the hooks on the tow chains and I replaced the ends with screw on links. These will never come loose and will hold the vehicle if everything else fails. On my rig, I would have to have four things fail at once for my toad to break loose. This seems highly unlikely.
Ah you are not using your imagination. One of the cases the Blue Ox base plate broke free from the front end of the car. Of course, in this case the secondary cables were also attached to the base plate. IIRC this one was maybe 5 years ago on here?
My Demco base plate is in two pieces so both would have to break loose from the car.
