Canadian Braking Regulations

If the vehicle you are towing weighs less than 3087 pounds (1400 kg) and is towed with a tow bar, brakes are not required if the vehicle weighs less than 50% of the licensed (net) weight of the motor home.

If the vehicle you are towing weighs less than 3087 pounds (1400 kg) and is towed with one axle on a towing dolly, brakes are not required if the motor home has a gross vehicle weight rating greater than the sum of the net weight of the towing dolly, the gross weight of the vehicle on the dolly and the gross weight of the motor home.

If the vehicle you are towing weighs less than 4410 pounds (2000 kg) and is less than 40% of the gross vehicle weight rating of the motor home towing via tow bar, brakes are not required on the vehicle.

If the vehicle doesn�t fit any of these exemptions, brakes are required on all wheels, and if it should weigh 6173 pounds (2800 kg) or more, the brakes on the towed vehicle must be able to be operated independently from those of the motorhome.
