B&W Patriot Hitch

All depends on the length of your cable. One good place is on the latching handle where you should have a padlock. Or the back part of the base where it attaches.

On my Puck system B&W I attach to a back puck.

I installed a quick link in the rear rail. I also put a brass snap hook on my breakaway cable . Makes for easy connection.

I use the handle locking pin to hold the loop end.

I just use the handle locking pin when I drop the pin in I hold the cable there as well

yup same here thru the locking pin

After many years of attaching it to a point on the hitch, I recently learned from a friend in Law Enforcement in our state it needs connected to the rig somewhere. After learning about it I attach mine to a tie down welded to the bed of my truck

I would not recommend attaching the breakaway cable the handle locking pin.

If the hitch head were to separate from the hitch the breakaway switch may not be activated.

In fact I do not recommend attaching the breakaway cable to any part of the hitch. I attach mine to a ring I have installed on the side wall of the truck.

I put mine on the handle with a locking pin the B&W Patriot hitch has never come off ever in any research I've ever done...... and if it's comes off.... your going to have a whole lot more problems than just the trailer breaking away:E

I attach mine the a puck pin on the Demco 6099 picture frame in the bed of the truck. The head on the Patriot head is only held on by two spring loaded latches. And is another reason the trailer should never be used to raise the Patriot out of the truck bed.

The Companion models have a pin on each side that passes under the saddles.

I've attached the cable to the pull handle ever since we started RVing back in '03 as that's where the dealer said to attach the cable.

I agree too that your gonna have more problems to worry about if the RV de-taches than as to where the cable is attached. To that I'll add that I've never tied my snowmobiles down inside the 4 place enclosed trailer I own UNLESS going on a long trip. Some would say, "shouldn't make any difference wether it's long or short---tie them down". In all the years I've towed the trailer, sleds haven't moved onced. If I ever get into an accident and trailer comes unhooked or not, I've got bigger things to worry about cuz IF trailer becomes unhooked, not gonna make any difference where the brake cable is attached and chains break.
