Dingies simply make all stopping situations more difficult. Personal safety of those riding with us or driving near us is of primary concern, but there are at least two other concerns to deal with. Those are legal and financial. Lets first talk legal. These laws are satisfied with electric brakes on trailer and fifth wheels where the on brake controller in the tow vehicle operates the service brakes under normal conditions and the break-away activates the electric brakes using a battery that is in the trailer or fifth wheel.
Commercial vehicles have similar designs for service and break-away braking.
They also force the disconnection of the dingy at the time of the ticket. There are only a few dingies that weigh less than 3000 lb., and none that have break-away safely brakes. Most of us are therefore breaking the law and risk punishment if caught. Towing with a dolly only makes the problem worse because of the additional weight and safety lighting required. Now lets talk financial.
