RIVING

A
LCOHOL
The presence of alcohol in significant levels in
the blood increases the probability that the
driver will be involved in an accident. Exercise
your good judgment and encourage others to
do the same. Know the legal alcohol limits and
do not exceed them. Be aware of your personal
limits, which may be lower than the legal limits.
Should you ever exceed your limits or find your
driving is impaired, find alternative
transportation.
NEVER DRINK AND THEN
DRIVE.

The breakaway switch is a crucial part of the
RV braking system. Located near the fifth wheel
pin box, this switch will apply the trailer brakes if
the RV becomes detached from the tow vehicle.
Attach the breakaway switch lanyard (cable) to
a permanent part of the tow vehicle when
hitching the RV. 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.
An auxiliary battery must be purchased and
correctly installed to activate the breakaway
switch.

There are two types of 7-way connectors:
one has flat pins (which are often referred to
as blades); the other has round pins. The
round pin style is very rare. The RV style
Pollak 7-way trailer plug with flat pins (or
blades) is more common.

A 7-way wire harness/connector plug (also
called the trailer plug) is wired into your RV
to connect electrical power from the tow
vehicle to the RV for travel. Generally
speaking, it is located under the fifth wheel
gooseneck, on the off-door side, near the
pin box. Keep the trailer plug storage
compartment door closed and locked to
help prevent insects, rodents or other pests
from entering.
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.
Driving after drinking or taking drugs
(including some prescriptions and/or over-
the-counter medications) can lead to an
accident. Studies have shown perceptions
are less sharp, reflexes are slower,
drowsiness may be experienced and/or
judgment may be impaired.
