Breakaway Switch
The breakaway switch is a safety part of your trailer’s electric brake
system. The very instant a breakaway occurs, the pull pin which is linked
to the tow vehicle is pulled from the switch. The two contacts
automatically close to complete the electrical circuit and apply the trailer
brakes. This system will apply the brakes of the trailer should it become
loose or detached from the tow vehicle. A 12-volt battery installed on the
coach is required by law in many states, to power the breakaway switch.
Never
use this breakaway switch and trailer brake system as a parking
brake. There would be a high amp draw on battery and converter,
potentially causing damaged wiring, connectors, and breakaway switch
plus unnecessary energy draw.
Towing
When towing your trailer or fifth wheel you need to recognize the extra
weight behind your tow vehicle. Below is a list of things which need to be
remembered while traveling.
