Break Away Switch Cable

Anyone have an opinion on where you should connect the break away
switch cable? Most instructions say "hook it up" to what? Should
it be connected to the hitch like the chains or the frame of the
tow vehicle? If you ask RV dealers they usually can not give you
a straight answer just reply anywhere works. What if the hitch
breaks loose from the frame of the vehicle and your cable is attached
to it, obviously the brake away switch will not be activated. I see
most attaching it to a link in the safety chains, what if they come
off which I had happen? Anyone have a opinion here? What concerns me
as I have asked some folks what they do and they didn't even know
what the break away cable was for.

Attach it to some part of the tow vehicle that won't be coming off any time soon.
