Is this unsafe to do this?
Would anyone hitch up their breakaway cable like this? I was trying to figure out the logic behind this method, thanks. Moderator edit to re-size picture to forum limit of 640px maximum width.

Never Never Never hook the lanyard to the hitch. As mentioned. IF the hitch breaks, the brake pin will not be pulled. Will be useless.
I put a I-bolt thru the step bumper where there is a place for chaines to be hooked if using the bumper to tow. I hook the lanyard to that. So that even if the hitch fall off, the brakes will still be pulled on.
I think I have more faith in the hitch than I do in a bumper.
I don't attach mine to either the hitch or the bumper. It is attached to the truck's frame.
Back in the days when I drove a MH and pulled a toad, I had a hitch shop put the baseplate on the car. When I went to pick it up, they had attached the breakaway cable to the hitch. I made them move it to the MH frame before I left the lot.
