We have been looking into towing a vehicle behind our vintage 1985 coach and are stumbling over the question of braking. The way I see it is I am adding a lot of weight (7,000 pound) I need to stop or hold back on hills if I tow 4 down and I am not able to use the toads brakes. If I go the trailer route I add additional and independent brakes. The 4 down seems much faster for connecting (advantage) then a trailer but I get brakes (the big one) and storage with the trailer.
Do the trailer brakes rally add to overall braking power?
Is there a system that would let me use the toads brakes?
Would my coach handle a toad without additional brakes (say through the I40 basin between NC and TN)?
