OP here . On this topic of hitch failure , the DW and I once did see a truck pulling a TT traveling the opposite direction on a divide highway with the TT only being pulled by the safety chains !For what reason this happened is unknown but does stress the factor of double checking our hitching procedure before hitting the road. Of course the safety chains are made for the ball failure or not "pinning" the hitch latch, but in case of hitch failure I believe the recommendation of hooking the "breakaway" cable to the frame someway is some solid advice . I was just wondering "how" and where some of you do this. I do have a eyelet off the frame ( which someone mentioned) of the truck that appears to be the best spot, if the cable length permits. Life is Good.
