| How is braking involved? |

4 inches multiplies into chaos
Here's what happens. Say you start out with a 6 inch height difference from the level coach to the bracket attachment points. Doesn't sound like a whole lot does it?
Then light braking causes the height difference to change from 6 inches to 10 inches. Not only does the suspension of the coach give upward, allowing the front end of the coach to dip, but the suspension of the towed vehicle also gives downward and allows its front end to dip as well. This is now starting to take its toll on the suspension components, alignment and tires of the towed vehicle.
When moderate braking is applied the height difference goes up, but this time it adds another 6 inches for a total of 16 inches. Now, we're seeing a much more pronounced impact on suspension components of the towed vehicle, plus the angle of the tow bar and the weight of the motorhome pushing back down on the towed vehicle may start flexing the bracket installation.
We are starting to get a large spike in leverage, force and stresses on the bracket, its hardware and the frame or unibody of the vehicle to which it is mounted. 
Depending on how the bracket attaches, you may actually see the frame of the vehicle flex then return to its original position.
Do this a few times and you might be confronted with loose bolts or even worse, fatigue of either the vehicle frame or the bracket itself.
Add in a heavy braking event, like stopping fast for a child running after a ball and disaster may have arrived. It is possible for the towed vehicle to end up under the rear of the coach. It can happen and this example only started with a 6 inch height difference!
