I use an Even Brake system with good results. Although my 1st towd was a 92 Geo Tracker stick shift and the Even Brake bracket would not attach very well to the very-small brake pedal on the Geo Tracker. I had to secure it with cable ties and cut them off when ever I removed the Even Brake. I now have a towd with auto trans so the brake pedal is larger and no longer a problem to attach to.

California Vehicle Code requires a supplemental braking unit for any towed vehicle over 1,500 lbs. and breakaway brakes.

So just for speculation, what would the liability be if in an at- fault accident while towing a 2,500 lb towd with no breaking system while the coach owners manual limits towing to 1,000 lbs. Add to that the coach has one of the numerous modified braking systems. Would your insurance abandon you?
