Break-Away Switch

Can anyone tell me a good place to look for the complete Break-Away switch (or unit) for fifth wheels? I need to get one before this year is over. I've been pulling around close to home without one, and now we are thinking of traveling some distances. So, figured I'd best get things in order.<br><br>Thanks<br>Grampaw<br>

I suggest an RV dealership; also Camping World could probably put one on as well.

Re:Break-Away Switch

I bought one for our old 5er from Agri-Supply. They have all sorts of stuff besides farm supplies. I would imagine that you might be able to get one at a NAPA store or maybe even a auto parts store that carry towing accessories (like brake controllers,trailer connectors, etc.).<br> The best thing was that the switch I bought was the identical same brand name as the RV place carried and I paid $6.00 less at the Agri-supply!! ;D

Re:Break-Away Switch

You might talk to the people that sold you the trailer,they might be more than happy to put one back on. Have no idea how long they have been required as I am new at this.
