I have a 24' MH on an E450 chassis.

I'm thinking about getting a tow dolly to pull my 2016 Honda Civic Touring Sedan. It weighs a little under 3000 lbs.

Can I use a dolly without brakes?
If I do need brakes, will they need to be electric, or could they be surge?

The drive train of my Civic is still cover under the 5-year factory warranty. I'm guessing that does not include the rear axles. If I tow this vehicle for long distances with the rear wheels down, will the rear wheel bearings need any extra maintenance?

I'm hoping that the odometer cable is connected to the front wheels. It would suck to have to disconnect it when towing.

I hear everybody complaining about how difficult it is to back up with a toad. I pull a 4000 lb boat with my SUV. Wouldn't this be about the same thing? In the SUV, my backup cam is worthless because it looks right into the bow of the boat. But, in the MH, I should be able to see over the toad.

What am I missing?
