Where to connect brake break away cable on Patriot Hitch

I just had a B & W Patriot hitch installed yesterday. It is replacing a R & W little rocker hitch.

I used a Carabiner to connect my break away cable to multiple holes in the little rocker. The Patriot has no holes anywhere in it.

For those of you that have the B & W Patriot where do you connect the break away cable?

I hook mine on a tie down just inside rear bed corner. I never hook to hitch.

Theoritically it's best to have the break away connected to the truck not the hitch. I got another cable and looped it through a stake hole and connected to the other cable with a carabiner. Easy to reach and connect too.
