NO...no...no...noooooo! First, most states require braking systems to be installed on towed vehicles weighing more than 1,500 pounds. The 2014 Honda CRV weighs 3,300-3,550 pounds, depending on the specific model. I know that to be true; we tow one!Am new at this and have 2014 Honda CRV set up with brake system to pull behind my 2018 Phaeton pusher. Since car is so light compared to size & power of RV, do some just skip setting up and using the brake system? Thanks
Thanks very much for reply.NO...no...no...noooooo! First, most states require braking systems to be installed on towed vehicles weighing more than 1,500 pounds. The 2014 Honda CRV weighs 3,300-3,550 pounds, depending on the specific model. I know that to be true; we tow one!
Then, there's the safety aspect; yours and other people's. Braking systems on towed vehicles serve two purposes; (1) assisting in braking of the toad/RV combination and (2) applying the brakes on the toad if it should ever come loose from the RV. These are called 'break-away" systems. You don't want to be responsible for the tragic results of a towed vehicle coming loose and crashing into another vehicle; probably head-on.
Please don't even entertain the thought of towing a vehicle without the appropriate braking system installed.
