Some toads need a braking device. Some MHs have barely enough braking to stop a loaded rig. Some large MHs with air brake style braking may not need a toad with auxiliary braking system.
Yes, I have a braking system!
Still doesn't provide a difference. Even the big diesel pushers with air brakes require trailer brakes for over 3k lb (most states).
Not saying people don't get away with things but if the investigator decides not having brakes was a proximate cause in an accident, you can expect them to cite it and I'm betting the citation would hold up in court.
