I m not endorsing it over electric braking systems just putting it out there so the op has all the info to help make the decision.
After towing a wrangler 4 down for 6 years i just started pulling my 09 prius on a roadmaster dolly the model with ackerman steering and it came with electric brakes.
It activates by stepping on the brakes of the motorhome causing the wheels of the dolly to slow down at the same time however the downside of using electric brakes is the fact that you need to constantly adjust it.
