Just took our fifth wheel on its first trip and it was flawless until the last turn into my neighborhood on the way home. I have a Demco 18k AutoGlide and the wire for the breakaway switch got tangled up in something on the hith on that last turn and pulled the cord. Luckily I was only going about 5mph and there was no traffic. I have the cord looped onto the hitch release arm. I'd prefer for this to not happen again so any and all advice is welcome. It was a left hand turn, and the switch is on the left side of the pin box if it matters.
Get a clear plastic 1/2" hose about 3 to 4 ft. long. Cut a slit in the hose on one side. Open the slit and and put the breakaway cable inside the plastic hose. Job done , no more tangles:)
