Break-away Cable?
Am I correct? The break-away cable should be SHORTER than the chains...(travel trailer) Doing some tweaking.... Thanks.

"The best length for the cable of a breakaway system will be where the pin would get pulled right as the trailer would come uncoupled.
The reason for this is that if the trailer would come uncoupled and the safety chains were to catch the trailer you would still want the brakes to apply."
