I know folks with DP''s that tow and do not have aux brakes. Air brakes IF adjusted right will stop the weights you are at with and without a towd vehicle. Bif thing is to have safety chains installed and utilized and then apply some sever stops to whateverr you have.. try the rv 1st then with the attached vehicle.
Proper adjustment is imperative for airbrakes to be effective. Know how they operate and really understand, they will NOT stop on a dime as many 4wheelers think. You will not stop at many yellow lights if less than 1.5-2 bus lengths away in most instances even without the towd vehicle. So knowing the systems and how they work on the RV will be most important. You will probably be having at least 15Tons of vehicle to stop and they do not in short distances.
