Another link from someone selling brakes. Again, a link for the gullible. :R
Why don't you do what I did and contact the people that make and enforce the laws in each State and then post exactly what they have to say regarding a VEHICLE in tow behind a motor home.

In a lawsuit involving questions of liability regarding property damage, personal injury, and possibly death, I'm going with what the state statutes say and what the courts have interpreted them to mean first, how an agency has interpreted the laws -- in writing, in official publications -- second, and what individual cops and DMV employees think last, if at all (probably not at all). But that's me.
Then you obviously agree with me when I said that no state legally requires brakes since the DMV OFFICERS that emailed back about vehicle towing quoted the exact STATE statutes
(Florida statute 316.261 as a drive away, tow away operation). The rank of those DMV officers also puts them well above some DMV clerk or police officer on the street.
In fact, most States that I contacted gave me their State statute.
All you have to do is ask the right people and you can get the correct answers. In California the State statue is Vehicle Code Section 2XXXX. I'd give you the exact statute, but I'll let you do your own research because you would not believe me anyway. :B
