I think we all agree that it's a good idea. I just don't buy into the claim that if you don't have one then by default you lose everything in a civil case. Still waiting for someone to prove that . If you aren't required by law, then it's a straw man argument.

If the owner's manual recommends that if you tow a toad over xxx lbs., that a braking system should be used, any "good" lawyer can convince the jury that the RVer was negligent and work on the sympathy of the jurors in assessing damages.
I have never read in the paper where a person was "nailed" for texting while driving which I am sure has happened primarily because that does not make headlines. and lets separate civil vs criminal actions.

Beating a dead horse here but I read countless stories of people being charged for texting while driving. Happened to my sister. This is totally apples and oranges. Oh and still don't see any examples. I see a lot of claims but nothing of proof. And I don't see anything in MY MH manual stating any of what you claim. I'm done.

To the OP, I am glad of your decision to install one. Whatever the persuading factor was.
