Towing without a car braking system??
Just curious how many out there tow without a brake system. I have a brake system that has a light plus audio to alert you when the brake is on. Since I have a diesel pusher with an exhaust brake, ...

About 12 years ago MY TOWED BROKE AWAY FROM ME! Yup, it really happened. The mounting bracket on the Saturn Vue (custom made by the hitch shop) failed and as I was stopping at a light one a lightly traveled road I saw the Saturn slowly begin to pass me on the right. OMG!!! I was able to stop, hop out of the motorhome, open the unlocked car and set the emergency brake before it got too far ahead. (I was 12 years younger then). The shop made it right by me. No one was hurt. Anyway, I now use a ReadyBrake with the Saturn and a we have a new diesel motorhome. I do not have a "brake in use" light or indicator. Seems silly with the ReadyBrake configuration. I probably don't need the auxiliary brake, but I believe it is required in some states, and it is just a safety thing. I would not travel without a "break away brake". You could kill someone.
