If you’re in an accident and “failed to stop in time” you are just as liable wether your trailer had working brakes or not. The point is - don’t outdrive your ability to stop in time. The second point - keep your insurance up to date and adequate; that’s what it’s for.
True, when it comes to financial liability. OTOH, CDL drivers have faced criminal charges when it was suspected defective equipment played a part in accident. I no we normally don't hold RV drivers to the same standard, but they could.
