hi,

http://www.towsure.com/product/Secon...with_Snap_Hook

these are a legal requirement yet dont see many fitted or in use.

any ideas how one is fitted, thinking wire part found towball neck so maybe
bolt the ring part to one of trailer hitches bolts down to its chassis.

reckon keeps outfit together if towball fails, unlike a braked trailer which should be
stopped by its break away cable as the tug accelerates away, mind cant imagine
doing that as sure i i would brake if felt it come apart and try to 'catch' the caravan

also seen trailers with two chains crossed beneath the hitch to catch to the nose
of the trailer
