Five Essential Reasons for Supplemental Braking

  • **1. Safety:** Reduces stopping distance and prevents tow system failure.
  • **2. Legal Requirement:** Most states require supplemental brakes if the towed vehicle exceeds **3,000 pounds**.
  • **3. Chassis Warranty:** Towing without brakes can **void your motorhome chassis warranty** (e.g., 1,000 lbs for Chevy, 1,500 lbs for Ford).
  • **4. Wear and Tear:** Your motorhome brakes will last significantly longer.
  • **5. Common Sense:** A supplemental braking system is essential when towing two or three extra tons.
