Re: [tabtrailers] Break Away Cable

9:15 AM |

Terry, I have communicated with Sharon off-forum, and she is working with a friend to make up a new (or repaired?) cable this weekend. I hope she will send me a photo of the end result--or perhaps better yet post it on the forum--which will make it easier for me to describe what we have been discussing. They may have found something that works better than what I was describing. If you don't get the information by mid-week, remind me.

Sharon, let me see if I can make one up for you with installation instructions and mail it to you. You should have it within a week. Will contact you off-forum with more information.

Evenin' Everyone...

Has anyone here ever replaced their break away cable? If so, where did you get your new one and who installed it for you if you didn't do it yourself?

The reason I'm asking is that today after unhitching, I thought the break away cable was hanging down UNDER the hitch ball (I loop it around the ball when towing), but it wasn't. Consequently, when I moved the car, it destroyed the cable. The hooks at both ends were bent, twisted and pulled apart with absolutely no way to fix them.

With a big trip coming up in three weeks, I need to get this replaced and reinstalled right away. Any guidance and suggestions on your part would be welcomed!
