The CVC definition of a trailer does not include a TOAD:

Law section.

The CVC does not mention TOADS except here:

If you are going to claim there is a law requiring something or prohibiting something it is a good idea to cite the actual law

Based on the wording in the document Law Section a TOAD is a trailer.

"A “trailer” is a vehicle designed for carrying persons or property on its own structure and for being drawn by a motor vehicle and so constructed that no part of its weight rests upon any other vehicle. "

A TOAD is a vehicle designed for carrying persons or property on its own structure (TOAD is a vehicle that carries property)

and for being drawn by a motor vehicle (drawn by motorhome with installed designed specific baseplate and towbar)

and so constructed that no part of its weight rests upon any other vehicle (TOAD weight does not rest on the motorhome)

IMHO, based on the Calif definition, a TOAD when attached to the motorhome by a towbar becomes a trailer and over 3000 pounds requires brakes.
