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...

Just don't drive fast and don't tail gate and you will be fine..
What about the guy that pulls out in front of you or swerves into your lane unexpectedly and slams on the brakes?
The Physics of Towed Vehicles
In the event that scenario happens, and you are traveling 60 MPH, how far will your rig travel before your foot hits the brake pedal?
Look it up!
Then think about it...
The same distance with or without auxiliary brakes. After your foot hits the brakes, the difference can be significant. Legally so.
