Brakes or no brakes?
I have now towed a Chevy Sonic(2700 lbs.) behind our 30 ft. Class C for 4 1/2 years with no braking on the Chevy dinghy. So far no problem at all. I know I could have to make a panic stop someday but ...

don't be a gambler. if you hit somebody and don't have brakes that has a decent lawyer, he will crucify you.

You should also look into what YOUR 'insurance company' policies are regarding brake system requirements for towing the car. Mine states no brakes no coverage. And the police will include in the accident report whether there was a braking system in place in the car.
If you have to make a panic stop with the MH do you really want 3,000 lbs pushing you while you are trying to stop?
FMCA years back did a video of testing stopping with toad brakes and without toad brakes there WAS a marked difference in stopping distance with toad brakes in place. Made me a believer.
