I am a firm believer in having toad brakes regardless of the weight. It’s an expensive part of the deal (approximately $1000 plus installation if you have a permanent model and can’t do your own work). But please consider that most motorhomes don’t stop all that well to begin with and adding another ton or two to the mix isn’t going to help. I just found a nice older Wrangler and my cost (doing my own installation) is $450 for a Blue Ox base plate, $900 for a Blue Ox tow bar, $1100 for a Stay In Play brake system, $50 for toad lights, $120 for the necessary high/low adapter and about $250 for miscellaneous safety cables and wiring. It’s not a project to be taken lightly!
