Hello. I am responding to my own message. When we unplugged from shore power and inserted the power plug from the hitch into the power supply in the bed of the truck, the pin in the breakaway assembly became easier to remove. Does this make sense? A friend says the breakaway system is designed integrally with the TV power supply. Comments?
Well Enblethen is correct, the breakaway switch is designed to work with the 12
Volt battery in your trailer, hence the name breakaway switch, it's function is to apply a full 12 volts of power when the pin is pulled, this should only happen if the trailer separates from the TV. This can happen if the cable gets hung up on the hitch, been there done that!
