The following procedure will help to assist you in securely hooking up your RV to
your tow vehicle.
1. Make sure the trailer wheels are blocked.
2. Turn the tongue jack crank to raise the travel trailer tongue above the hitch
ball.
3. Open the coupler latch on the travel trailer hitch.
4. Back the tow vehicle into the proper position.
5. Turn the tongue jack crank to lower the coupler onto the hitch ball.
6. Close the coupler latch after it is completely seated.
7. Install the (customer supplied) weight distributing bars (equalizers) as directed
by the OEM.
8. Remove the dolly wheel or platform and retract the tongue jack to its
maximum height.
9. Attach the breakaway switch cable to the tow vehicle.
10. Attach the safety chains.
11. Plug in your wire harness/connector plug from the tow vehicle to the travel
trailer.
12. Walk around the RV to verify exterior lights are working correctly.
13. Remove the trailer wheel blocks.
NOTE:
If an Atwood brake actuator is used with an equalizing hitch, be sure
the hanger chains hang between straight down and forward up to 34°. Do not use
less than 6-1/2” hanger chain length. For optimum brake performance, hang
chains forward 34°. Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for more
information

The breakaway switch is a crucial part of the RV braking system. Located on the
travel trailer A-frame, this switch will apply the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes
detached from the tow vehicle. Attach the breakaway switch lanyard to a
permanent part of the tow vehicle (on a travel trailer do not attach it to the hitch
ball or similar removable parts) when hitching the trailer. If the RV becomes
detached from the tow vehicle, the pull pin will be pulled from the switch. This
automatically causes the switch to “close” and activates the RV brakes.
A battery (customer supplied) must be installed to activate the breakaway
switch.
CAUTION
NEVER use the breakaway switch and trailer brake system as a parking
brake. Doing so would create a high amp draw on the battery and converter.
This can cause damage to wiring,
connectors and the breakaway
switch
