Question:
just read your post parts needed to tow 2020 envision, thanks for all the help..have 2 questions. Do you have to use a supplemental braking system for a 3700 pound car? Also how do I find out if my rv has hydro brakes or air brakes....if I need the braking system. I own a 2010 Winnebago Tour 42 AD Thanks

Expert Reply:
Nearly all states now legally require you to install a braking system in the towed vehicle. That said, I would still recommend you use a system even if not required as it makes a huge difference stopping in an emergency situation.
If you went with a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR or the SMI DUO part # SM99251 you do not have to first determine what type of brakes your RV has. If you had air brakes in your RV you'd hear them and would know. You'd hear the air pressure bleed off like a semi truck when you let off the brakes etc.
