Dinghy brakes or not?
I'm hesitant about this topic because I will probably get lectured but I'm wondering how many of you flat tow with no supplemental brakes? My situation is a 30 ft motor home towing a 2700 lb. Chevy So...

Towing without brakes in the OP's scenario is negligence and illegal in most places.
Cite the law as it applies to the OP in "most places".
Here in Florida a trailer under 3000 pounds need not have brakes. But a 2 axle towing vehicle and trailer under 3000 pounds must be able to stop from 20mph in 40'. So the OP is good in Florida. Now Florida isn't most places but It's a place, and one rife with RVs pulling cars.
Spin it anyway you want. Since I'm not a lawyer but just another RV'er I won't cite you any specific laws.But the song remains the same. There is cheap and there is careless. If the OP gets into a accident because he can't stop in time shame on him....He knows better regardless of the regulations.
