My 2 cents by way of definition: Anything pulled behind a prime mover should be considered a "trailer" because it "trails" the lead vehicle. As such, anyone arguing semantics over TOAD versus trailer and deciding not to run a braking system on the trail vehicle is not someone I want to be in close proximity of on the road.
How much in a lawsuit can you afford to pay by not using a braking system if you should have an accident? If you're willing to take that risk, what's stopping you from cancelling your insurance and rolling those dice too?
Think about the potential consequences, folks....

I looked at the AAA site earlier. It does not reference any laws.
If you arent required to use a braking system and you have proper insurance then you should be good.
Again, I am not looking for peoples opinions. I am looking for a law that requires brakes and evidence that not having brakes on a TOAD is dangerous.
If people feel safer with brakes then by all means use them.
