Pulled my e brake wire

Just so this won't happen to anybody else. After a few hours of freeway driving I entered a Walmart parking lot. Making a hard right turn my trailer brakes locked up and blocked off that lane for a while. So here is what happened my trailer safety wire apparently giggled under a folding metal dog fence. The hard right turn locked it up. Rather embarrassed getting out and hooking it back up!

    Give the angle his switch is mounted at, he might as well not even bother hooking it to anything!

    I would not want to follow behind him either, as loose boards in his truck bed might come flying out. Chris

    You couldn't make it to many places I go, so it's smart that you don't try.
