I had my breakaway cable pull out and activate the trailer brakes 3 times on my last trip. Fortunately it happened at very slow speeds, while pulling out of truck stops and such. Is there a fix for this. I wonder if a longer cable would help. It seemed to be getting caught up on the hitch and or the rails. It is a Pullrite, non slider.

Thanks for any tips.

The breakaway cable should not be hanging up on anything....make a new cable thats long enuff to give slack on turns and doesn't catch on your hitch or attach it to another point so it doesn't catch when turning

 

ZIP TIES

 

I have an old throttle spring attached to the pull handle on the hitch. The cable gets routed through this while towing, holds it up and to the center so it won't get pulled in a turn.

 

I had to use Carl's trick on my last setup. Used a sling to hold the cable away from the hitch.
