Well, I have a 2004 Wrangler Rubicon as my Toad; and I don't have an aux brake installed. I have never felt that I had the need for one in 15K miles of driving.
Now, having said that, it is my understanding that it is certainly better to have one, and I do have one, I just do not have it installed yet.
When I drive the RV, with the Toad behind, I drive like I ride my motorcycle; with the attitude that EVERYONE is out to crash into me. With this mindset, I leave all sorts of extra room in every direction around me.
I certainly recommend having the aux braking as, "Going is optional, but stopping is mandatory."
But reality is that if I need to use aux braking, EVERYTHING loose in the RV is going to be flying forward; something I try to avoid as much as possible. I like the things in cabinets to be reasonably close to where they were when I put them in there.
