Quick Link Recommendations for a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Short Safety Cables

Question

Question:

It seems that I need 4 of those Chain links things that tighten and you only supply 2. I have looked at several videos and they show a chain link one each end of each of the short safety cables. Did I not receive them or do you only provide 2? Thanks

The base plate kit part # 161-1 that you referenced does only include 2 of the short safety cables and two of the quick links. The other two you saw most likely came with a set of long safety cables that are sold separately.

To order additional ones you would want part # RM-910022 that is sold individually.

Answer 1

Since your trailer has Dexter Torflex 3,800 lb axles that means you have the number 11 Torflex axle and the correct lift kit would be the #K71-724-02 since your 2019 Globetrotter 28FB Air Stream is a tandem axle trailer. This will lift your trailer…

When the Quick Link part #C82932 is fully open the opening measures 5/8 of inch so a 5/16 inch diameter chain link would easily pass through it. It's pretty common to see quick links that are noticeably larger than the chains they are used on.

You'd need the safety cables, caribiner/quick connects and anything else to be rated for at least the weight of the towed vehicle. So while the cables part #C80176 are rated for 7,500 you could use the #RM-910022 which is rated for 6k assuming…

The heaviest I have available is the Threaded Quick Link part #C82932. I put these on my dad's 2019 for this same reason. They have a break strength of 16,500lbs each and a safe working load limit of 3300 lb each for a 6600 lb total.

The Roadmaster Safety Cable Extensions #RM-910648-12 do include Quick Link connectors. The connectors alone are part #RM-910022 and these are rated for 6000-lbs. Other Quick Links like Curt #C82931 are rated lower, in this case 2640-lbs.

Answer 6

The parts you all mentioned would have enough capacity for the weight of your 9.9k toy hauler. The part #MB38 would work well for mounting the safety chains #49150 with the quick link #C82932. Now where the part #MB38 should install on your trailer…

Answer 7

The part #RM-910022 is rated for 6,000 lbs so would not be a good choice for your setup that tows a 7,500 lb trailer but the part #C82932 has a 3,300lb safe working load capacity and 16,500lb break strength capacity, which would be way to go.

The opening width of the S-Hook on the Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables #C80176 referenced in your question is 3/4 inches and are not big enough to fit around the thicker side of the Curt Safety Chain Loops #C60618. These have a weight capacity…

Happy new year to you as well! The best way to replace (or add new) safety chain loops to your trailer frame is to simply have new ones like the Brophy #MB38 welded on. There's really not another good method for doing this that will ensure safe…

The Hopkins Trailer Breakaway Kit, part #20099, does require a pretty good pull on the cable for it to come out of the breakaway switch. It is designed to be able to be pulled out when the trailer becomes disconnected from the vehicle, but not when…

Answer 11

Safety chain extension links simply need to match the size and capacities of your current safety chains. For example, if your chains were 1/2" diameter with a 16,500 lbs break strength and 3,300 lb working load limit you would want the Threaded…

Answer 12

The working load limit is the safe working load limit for the strap. The max break strength instead is how much weight it will hold right before it breaks. Basically WLL is 1/3 the max break strength. The part #IMF14393 has a 1,500 lb max break…
