Actually I am disappointed in both FMCA's and Motorhome's handling of the supplemental brake issue. They both say categorically that you should never tow anything without supplemental brakes. However I live in Florida where you are not required to have brakes if your "trailer" is under 3000 pounds. Secondly, my toad (2800#) plus my loaded motorhome, TOTAL weighs 1000 pounds less than the GVWR for my motorhome alone. The chassis manufacturer says if the total load does not exceed the GVW for the motorhome the chassis is perfectly capable of safely stopping your combination. WHile I realize that there are probably a small percentage of people who meet this criteria, it seems to me that the magazines have just joined the tow brake manufacturers in stating "everyone needs supplemental braking".
In addition, I agree with others, I think the Ready Brake is a great tow brake system, and I think it is a crying shame that it is not included in the review of brake systems.
