Re: [VAL] Road worthiness



Ivan ,
When you fish the new wire for the 7 way plug , ( I tape two string to the old
,securely , and pull that thru the tongue ,then tape the strings to the new, and
pull that thru ) dont forget to pull two wires for a breakaway switch at the same
time ( use two strings ,after the 7 wire umbilical ,pull the breakaway wires the
same way ) that way you dont have to splice into the umbilical at the tongue ( I
use sealed connector plugs and wire) you can do it under /in  the trailer
..Breakaway switches are needed for any trailer over 2000 lbs here to be legal ,
and its hard to fish the wires if you dont do it all at once .
  How do I know this ? !!!
