RE: How I hook up my breakaway switch

[OC Campers]

 
The guy who installed my hithc informed me that the breakaway switch should be attached to somewhere other than the hitch. This is in the event of a complete hitch failure, the switch will definately be activated. Problem is, there was not a place on my Astro Van to hook it up, other than the hitch. So here s what I did:
 
  I bought four feet of 3/16"  braided steel cable and crimped loops on both ends. I attached one end to the cargo net hook inside the van. When I hook up the trailer i run the cable under the rear door out on top of the rear bumper. I connect it to the breakaway switch with a connecting link. When not in use, I coil it up and leave it on the floor in the van.
 
 Not a big deal but I thought it might be worth mentioning.
