A Must-Have for Safe Towing

This safety device is crucial for all automotive owners who frequently tow trailers. As a result of my tests, I determined that it is durable and easy to install. The electric switch offers the perfect amount of sensitivity to prevent accidental detachment of the trailer. However, the price may be prohibitive for some drivers. Overall, this product offers great peace of mind while towing.

Pros
  • Provides a reliable safety mechanism to prevent accidents if the trailer becomes disconnected from the towing vehicle.
Cons
  • Could fail in cases where the battery powering the electric brakes is dead, resulting in the same dangers as not having a breakaway mechanism at all.

It's economical - wiring

I think it works, did a continuity test as mentioned in another review. He passed. , I'll report later if I find out it doesn't work, but at this point I have no reason to believe it doesn't work. I didn't throw up pulling the plunger out as noted by another reviewer. .

Pros
  • Tow gear and winches
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Be sure to check continuity before installing.

I ordered this device because I had good experiences with RecPro in the past. After installing the first block it didn't work when the pin was pulled out so I returned it and they sent me a new block. The second device was bench tested before installation, same problem, the contacts do not close the circuit when the pin is pulled, you risk this device failing if necessary.
