"need" is a four letter word in my book, regardless of the law. WANT is a much better term for adding a braking system to your toad for dingy towing.
yep, it never surprises me that folks here will spend $100,000+ for a RV, $20,000 for a toad, $8000 for Full Body Paint to impress the neighbors, and won't spend $2000 for a safety item. they will look for some excuse, to justify not having a braking system, i.e. my MH will stop us, a towed car is not a trailer, the law doesn't mandate it, etc. etc.

Most brake systems only operate in emergency braking situations. Normal braking and they don’t activate. So yes the coach brakes are doing all the stopping and are rated at the full GCWR.
