If you go unbraked the Tug must be over 3 times the tare of the vehicle being flat towed which is why some nomads opt for a trailer rather than an A frame setup unless you opt for a heap of extra bucks to enable to the vehicle under tow braking

Yep - that's one of the reasons you see so many Suzuki Jimmys being towed behind motor homes. Another problem with the A frames (so one user told me), there is no way you can reverse. If you get stuck somewhere, you have to disconnect and drive the car out separately.
