Break-away Cable?
Am I correct? The break-away cable should be SHORTER than the chains...(travel trailer) Doing some tweaking.... Thanks.

Lots of trailers (RV and non rv) are still out here on the road that had no breakaway system. I have three of them and have owned many more.
And how many trailers don't even have brakes. In my state trailers under 3000 lb gvwr aren't required to have them.
Not having trailer brakes makes it simple when the trailer jumps off the ball, to ease the tow vehicle brakes on till the trailer makes contact with the back of the tow vehicle and then simply come to a slow stop.
When you tow for a living and spend lots of years on the road you learn from others misfortune and your own how to set up your trailers breakaway system so it works without wrecking the combo when the trailer comes unhitched and a breakaway.
