Believe what the designers of the RV says, not Internet wizards. If you take their advice and beef up the frame and the hitch you've spent a ton of money that still will do zero for the STOPPING abilities of an RV rated to tow 3,500 or 5,000 lbs.
A whole lot of "beefing" can be done for $500 -$1000. A guy running a race car probably has a welder and some design skills as well.
The MH brakes stop the MH. The trailer brakes stop the trailer. Where is there a braking problem?????
The problem for all of us is its hard to tell when the engineer stopped writing the spec and when the liability lawyer started. Braking is, of course, only one aspect of the picture. Once you hook the the two together it must be thought of as one vehicle not two. YMMV
