Could One Trailer Breakaway Kit be Used on Several Fifth Wheel Trailers
Updated 12/11/2017 | Published 12/10/2017 >
Question:
I will be towing various 5th wheel campers. Never the same one. I need a breakaway battery that is easy to install each time I change to haul a different camper. What do you recommend for this? I looked at one of the Curts that looked like it could work. Please advise.

Expert Reply:
Breakaway kits aren't really designed to move from trailer to trailer easily. They are designed for a permanent install. Since nearly all areas will require a breakaway kit to be installed on the trailer the best solution would be to install a breakaway kit like the part # C52042 on all of the trailers. It'll also save you a lot of time trying to swap the kits each time you have to tow a different vehicle.
