Brakes on towed vehicle or not?
Just wondering how many of you have supplemental braking on your toad vehicle or not. Our toad weighs about 2700 lbs. towed behind a 30 ft. Class C 450 Ford chassis so I believe brakes are not legally...

I don't partly because I just don't want one more expense and piece of equipment to fool with and because I know that I'm just not going to stop real fast with an RV regardless. Also, it feel like it stops as well or better than our previous set-up; a half-ton towing a 25 ft. 5th wheel.
we do on both vehicles we use as toads...a 2003 Jeep Wrangler (~3200-lbs) and a 2010 Jeep Liberty (~3800-lbs). personally, I think anyone who tows anything heavier than a 10-spd bike is asking for trouble without an aux braking system. suit yourself.
