Unbraked trailer, towing limitations
Hey folks, I’m looking for a new tow vehicle for a rig coming in at 2700 lbs, loaded, per the scale. I decided to trade down to a more modest unibody suv like the highlander, telluride or similar wit...

I can't say I have seen a RV stopped for overweight. OTOH, mid '80s Lexington Mo. In court waiting my turn to show I had changed plates, was no longer running out of bounds, I watched 4 people that where ticketed overweight pickup/boat be ordered to pay fines.
Late '90s, county court in Camron Mo, waiting for my lawyer to settle overload 2 men where talking about getting stopped by paddy wagon with their travel trailers, getting overload tickets. (At the time CMV enforcement used vans)
Now does it happen often? No, but it can. But as to the trailer brake issue; I watched a van pulling a trailer slide head-on into my truck. Of course the first thing that happened was they had to make sure my truck setting in left turn lane was not overloaded. But I kept pointing at the light cord/adapter. When I got out the disposable camera started taking pictures LEO made a mark on report. I had no issue collecting damages, don't know how the driver came out on his reckless driving charge.
