Emergency Brake Cable

A Newbie here to TT forum , was a long time Fiver and Snowbird forum "troller" and poster. In the Fiver world the Emergency Brake Cable was hooked to the side of my box in the PU . It was not recommended to hook to the hitch in case of hitch failure , So where are you TT guys hooking this important line to? Thanks , Life is Good !

I guess i am guilty as I use one of the two eyelet that is part of the trailer hitch...

Similar to this google photo

This is the same two eyelets that are used for the cross over chains coming from the trailer...

I also have a D-RING on the end of my breakaway trailer for ease of making a connection.. I think I got this from ETRAILER or Camping World...

We have trailer DOT safety inspections here in this state and this has never come up with them...
