Towing with Class A in Ontario
Planning a trip from Michigan to Maine through Ontario to New York. Will be pulling a tow dolly with electric brakes. Are there any special requirements that might be different than in Michigan ?

Don't think it matters. The issuing state rules are what apply.
This is not true for equipment requirements, and doubly not true for international travel. Within the states, reciprocity really only applies to driver's licenses and vehicle registrations; a license that covers large RVs in one state is valid for that kind of vehicle in every state, and a license plate issued in one state is valid in all. (Insurance works out because the insurance companies guarantee to meet the minimum requirements for any state, so that also is a moot point in practice). However, if you're not legally required to have trailer brakes in your home state, or are permitted to double tow, etc., that doesn't carry over automatically to any other state. Similarly, speed limits and such like are determined on a state-by-state basis.
