I have been reading the information about braking systems and would appreciate hearing from you all regarding the requirement/need for a braking system. I currently tow an 18' i/o boat without a braking system with no problem even in the hills; however, when I talked with the local rv service about setting up my 2004 Winnebago Minnie 31' for a tow bar they said I need the $1,000 braking system. The hitching rating is 5,000 lbs. and I am looking at using my 98 Durango which can be towed 4 down. Their quote is $3,500 for the package. I don't believe the western states where I travel require the braking system by law but would appreciate hearing your opinions/experiences.
