Is it unsafe to tow an RV without the electric brakes?

Russell T asked:


I now it’s not ideal but is it dangerously unsafe? I’ve got an FJ Cruiser with a tow capacity of 5000lbs. and the RV is an 18′ Fleetwood Pioneer with a dry weight of 3800lbs. We’re going about 800 miles roundtrip. What do you think?
What di people do before electric brakes?

      For that size trailer anything over 2500 lbs is good idea.
