Florida requires brakes on anything over 3000 lbs gross. The way trailer manufactures used to get away with it was when they sold u the trailer, it was empty and weighed less than 3000 lbs. I think now they have to go with the load rating plus the trailer weight. Also brakes are required on all axels.
Like RMB, i pulled my V to the keys 3 or 4 times with no brakes and was on the edge of my seat the whole way. Never really had an issue till a car ahead of me on the turnpike locked up his brakes and i hit mine too hard. Nothing happened, but i said if I made it back, i would Never tow one down there again without them.
