Trailer Breakaway Switch, 6ft Breakaway Coiled Cable for RV Towing Trailer

This 6ft split reel with electric brake switch is designed for RV towing and is made of ABS and stainless steel for a surface mount installation. The package includes 1 breakaway switch, which is a legal requirement for all braked trailers, whether for commercial or occasional use. It is designed to engage the trailer's brakes in the event the trailer becomes detached from the towing vehicle.

The breakaway switch is suitable for all caravans and trailers, and it is recommended to carry a spare, as the trailer should not be on the road without a properly functioning breakaway switch.

To use the breakaway switch, the ring end attaches to the trailer, typically on the bottom of the handbrake, while the hook end connects to the towing vehicle. The high-strength, coiled 6ft cable extends while towing, maintaining a position well above the road surface for a reliable connection between the trailer and tow vehicle.

The breakaway switch wires into the trailer's brake system, so if the trailer becomes uncoupled, the cord attached to the tow vehicle will pull the pin from the switch, activating the trailer's brakes. The coiled cable design prevents it from dragging on the ground and eliminates frayed ends.

Key features of this breakaway switch include resistance to rust and corrosion, thanks to the durable, scratch-resistant material coating the braided steel cable. This provides a safer, more effective connection while towing, as the cable won't rust, fray, or become damaged.

The spring-loaded clips make the breakaway switch easy to install, eliminating the need to wrap the cable around the trailer frame. The coated cable cord also protects users' fingers from loose, sharp wires.

This product comes with a 12-month warranty and a hassle-free return policy, ensuring customer satisfaction. Buyers are encouraged to contact the manufacturer if they have any questions or issues after receiving the goods.

In summary, this breakaway switch is a critical safety device for braked trailers, designed to engage the trailer's brakes in the event of separation from the towing vehicle. Its durable construction, ease of use, and included warranty make it a reliable choice for RV owners and trailer users.
