Break-away Cable?
Am I correct? The break-away cable should be SHORTER than the chains...(travel trailer) Doing some tweaking.... Thanks.
Forum Discussion
Ron Gratz addressed the breaking strength of the chains many moons ago but I don't have the exact thread to give a link.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the fact that, on most heavier trailers like many here tow, applying full braking force will not result in a huge jerking action at highway speed but usually just a strong slow down. The magnets strength is just not strong enough to jerk the trailer strongly in most cases. I don't know if disk brakes will jerk since I have never driven a trailer equipped with them.
Dodge Guy,
I knew someone was going to jump in on the spelling of Cummins. I spotted my error earlier but was too busy to correct it at the time. It is done now. :)
