I can then tell the cop "yes, officer, I did have a breakaway system". That way I don't have some HUGE liability in an accident. mowermech, great points. If my receiver comes of my MH, I will sue the heck out of Fleetwood and Draw-tite. Just saying.....
I cannot see, other than rust, how a receiver coming off a MH is anyone's fault but the installer and/or the MH company. If it is a do it yourselfer and that things comes of, someone needs to go to jail......cuz that be criminal.
