Description
xOverview
Meet the MECMO Trailer Breakaway Switch, designed to add an extra layer of safety when towing a trailer. The device activates the trailer’s electric brakes if it separates from the tow vehicle, helping you maintain control and potentially reduce stopping distance in an emergency. Its robust construction and thoughtful mounting options are built for frequent travel, busy campsites, and long highway hauls.
What makes it reliable
- 4mm braided steel core with a completely sealed switch protects internal components from dust, moisture, and road grit.
- Reinforced nylon housing, a durable metal tab for wire attachment, and a nylon pin for easy release, plus a looped end for secure trailer hitch attachment.
- Coiled stainless steel spring towing wire extends up to 4 feet, while staying compact when not in use, so it won’t drag on the ground.
How it works in the real world
- Two leads connect the switch between the trailer brake wire and the battery box brake wire, sending power to the brakes when activated.
- Position the switch near the trailer coupler, then secure the cable to the vehicle bumper or frame for reliable operation.
Key benefits you’ll notice
- Coiled design reduces snagging and wear, helping you keep a clean towing setup even on uneven terrain.
- Sturdy construction combines a sealed electrical unit with a rugged cable, suitable for outdoor use and road vibrations.
- Simple installation steps let you wire it quickly, with the intent of delivering a dependable brake signal when needed.
Easy setup and use
Mount the breakaway switch close to the trailer coupler so the cable can reach both the tow vehicle and the trailer’s braking system. The nylon pin, looped end, and metal tab are designed for straightforward handling during setup and adjustments.
Notes and care
Regularly inspect the coiled wire and housing for signs of wear or corrosion. If you notice any damage, replace components promptly to keep the system ready for towing. This switch is intended to complement safe towing practices and is not a guarantee of incident-free travel.
