I called my contact at B&W and they told me that they do not have a designated place on the Companion for a breakaway cable to attach.
They said most customers attach the cable to the pin on the back of the fifth wheel head that is used for locking the hitch in place. I have attached a photo of the back of the hitch and have pointed to the pin they said is used. You want to make sure it is not tight and pulled when executing turns.
