I have a Winnebago Sightseer 30b with a workhorse chassis. The winie book says if you tow over a 1000lb that you need a brake assist. That seems like a lot of overkill. If I pull my 6x10 utility trailer with 2 bikes will it be too heavy?

If the bikes are two Honda Goldwings, you might want brakes. If you are talking a couple of dirt bikes - no. If you want to get techinical, your brakes on your coach have a specific weight rating. This is based on your GVW +1K lbs. Depending on how much CCC you have left, the left over CCC after loading + 1K lbs is how much you can carry without adding trailer brakes.
