• Replacement Breakaway Cable for a Fastway Zip Trailer Breakaway Switch
  Yes, we do! We have two options and the difference between the two is the length of the safety cable. I have listed them below: 6' Long - Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin item # FA80-01-2206 4' Long - Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin item # FA80-01-2204

• Correct Length of Breakaway Cable for my Artic Fox 22G
  Basically in some towing setups when you make a sharp turn you can as you said stretch the cable going to the breakaway switch with the 48" standard length breakaway cable. If it were to be pulled to much during a turn it could pull out of the breakaway switch and cause you trailer brakes to lock up. If you are experiencing any tension on that cable at all during turns switch to the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable part # FA80-01-2206 this is 6' long and will help to ensure you...

• Replacement Coiled Breakaway Cable Options For A 2020 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 19FD
  Since you have a 4' breakaway cable any 4' coiled cable can be used. You can use the Fastway # FA80-01-2204, which will come with the plunger as well or the Fastway # FA80-01-2140 if you're plunger is still is good shape, you'll just hook the split ring on the cable end through the hole on the back of the plunger to connect the two together and the carabiner can be attached to the tow loops on your hitch when towing. I've attached videos below for both of these cables to show you how they...

• Installation of Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable
  Yes, the Fastway Zip Coiled Breakaway Cable # FA80-01-2204 has the pin that inserts into the switch. When you pull the pin out of the breakaway system it will engage the brakes. Then after inserting the new pin they will disengage. Doing this with the trailer plugged into the truck can cause a back feed to the brake controller and possibly damaging it. So make the switch with the trailer disconnected from the truck. When towing you'll connect the cable to your tow vehicle using the...

• Replacement Pin Recommendation for Fastway Weight Distribution System
  The only replacement pin I can recommend for a Hopkins breakaway kit is the part # HM20012. If you wanted the coiled design of the Fastway kit you'd need to replace the switch too with the part # FA80-00-2040 and you'd be set. While the pins aren't all universal between brands we've found that the switches are.

• Is There A DOT Regulation For The Strength Of Carabiners In A Brakeaway System?
  I am not aware of any type of DOT regulation regarding the strength of a carabiner on a brakeaway system. We install brakeaway systems like the # FA80-01-2204 here at our shop in Missouri very frequently and this has never come up as an issue. In general, the only regulation for a brakeaway is that it must be sufficient to apply the trailer brakes for at least 15 minutes if pulled. All of the brakeaway cables and carabiners we carry will be of sufficient strength for this purpose.

• Trailer Brake Breakaway Switch & Cable
  Since your travel trailer has onboard house batteries, the break away brake will be powered by those. To replace the breakaway switch and/or cable I recommend the Fastway # FA80-00-2040 which includes the tongue mounted switch. If you have the switch and only need the lanyard I recommend the Fastway # FA80-01-2204. I have this same line attached to my travel trailer. I like that the coiled line keeps it away from the ground and the large carabiener clip makes it each to hook on to the...

• Can the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable # FA80-01-2204 be Used for a 5th Wheel
  Since the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable # FA80-01-2204 is basically a universal fit I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it for a 5th wheel application.
