Is a Breaking System for the Toad Required vs. a good idea?
Okay,
I was looking around this past weekend while camping and noticed two DP that were each towing a vehicle 4 down with Blue Ox towbar so I "walked the dogs" over to observe disconnection process. Both times I did not see any breaking system so I asked the second time and was told he did not use one.
My questions are: Is there a weight ratio of RV to Toad that dictates the need for a breaking system? Is it the law to have a breaking System for the Toad? Is it a safety issues? My Kia weighs in at just over 2400lbs?
Planning this season to start towing so trying to find out the rules and issues involved here.
