Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Hopkins replacement breakaway kit, cable and pin. Now this is going to replace the pin and cable for your older style Hopkins breakaway switches. Now this is gonna work for the three models that you see on the screen there. So if you have any one of those you can trust this is gonna be exactly what you need to replace that original breakaway pin and cable. Because this is a direct replacement from Hopkins, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues or anything like that.
So it is gonna fit right in place of that original pin so that if you we're to ever come disconnected, that would pull out and apply your the brakes on your trailer. So having the the right pin is gonna be important. Make sure that you're gonna be safe and this is gonna be the right pin that you need. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com.
Thanks for watching.

great plunger
Good cable
Recently bought a pin & lanyard for my trailer breakaway system. The unit is a perfect fit. Great price. Shipped quickly and shipped in a good secure package. I talked to the staff and they directed me to the correct item. Had the unit in my hand in just a few days. What a great place to buy service items for my car hauler.
There's no way to tell what Hopkins brakaway box I have so this one will not work. But I have to pay to send it back. I couldn't even find a replacement. So after I have removed the old box and take it to my r v dealer so I'm going to spend more money for what I thought was a easy fix.

This pin is for use with the old style Hopkins Break-Away switches: HM20005, HM20012 and HM20014. I reached out to the manufacturer who advises that the best way to determine what breakaway system you have is to look online for one that looks similar, whether it is a 20099 or a 20400 or any variation of those base models.
I bought 2 different ones at different times for the Hopkins control and neither fit…..

Thank you for your review. This item only works with old style Hopkins Break-Away switches: HM20005, HM20012 and HM20014.
We ordered the breakaway cable and pin to have as an extra in our TOAD. We tested it and it works well. The car will not run if someone has pulled the breakaway pin. It's great to have a spare in the glove compartment in case some prankster decides to remove the pin in the parking lot!
erailer was easy to order from and delivered when they said they would.
I was looking for these replacement pins for awhile. I always was concerned that I would come out to my vehicle and find my pin missing and my vehicle disabled. I carry an extra one for my vehicle and trailers to avoid being stranded.
I had been having a hard time finding these replacement parts for my business, I finally found etrailer and they had the exact part I needed, IN STOCK. I ordered a ton of them. Shortly after placing my order I got an email telling me that they did not have my full order in their warehouse but would get my part to me asap. Ended up getting two shipments to get all my parts, which is amazing considering how many I ordered. My order was not only fulfilled but done so quickly and with great communication thru the entire process. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME WITH THESE!
Product fit perfectly, came on time just like the representative said it would, thanks Etrailer

Great thanks
Exact replacement for the breakaway switch on my BigTex 12PI trailer. Unfortunately, I broke the old pull tab off in the switch while trying to remove it to put in the new one. Now I have ordered a new breakaway switch to replace the existing one.
Replacement item.
