The breakaway switch is a safety part of your trailerās electric brake
system. The very instant a breakaway occurs, the pull pin which is
linked to the tow vehicle is pulled from the switch. The two contacts
automatically close to complete the electrical circuit and apply the
trailer brakes. This system will apply the brakes of the trailer should
it become loose or detached from the tow vehicle. A 12-volt battery
installed on the coach is required to power the breakaway switch.
NEVER use this breakaway switch and trailer brake system as a
parking brake. There would be a high amp draw on battery and
convertor, potentially causing damaged wiring, connectors, and
breakaway switch plus unnecessary energy draw.
Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is installed in each vehicle and is located near the
entrance door in the recreational vehicle. Be familiar with its location
and operating instructions as printed on the extinguisher. Inspect
your fire extinguisher at least two times per year or more often, as
instructed on the extinguisher. Extinguisher is rated at 5 or 10 B.C.
