THOR #19687
Must install brake controller!!!

In most states it is illegal to tow without a brake controller. I tow an F150, but my Thor weighs over 30,000 pounds and hardly notices the extra weight of the pickup. But if you're inspected without a brake controller, you're in trouble. I think the main reason for the laws is that if your towed ever breaks free, and dosn't have a controller immediately stomping on the brakes, your towed can cause accidents and kill people. It's rare that toweds break free of the RV, but it's just not worth the criminal charges you'd face in that case if you had disobeyed the safety laws.
