Tekonsha Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit Installation - 2018 Jayco Pinnacle Fifth Wheel- Video

Hey, guys. It's Jake here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at, and I'm gonna show you how to install the Tekonsha Breakaway System on our Jayco Pinnacle Fifth Wheel Trailer. Having a breakaway system on your trailer that has brakes is a very important piece of equipment to have. In the case of an unlikely disconnect, the breakaway switch will be pulled and then the battery inside of this box will apply the brakes to your trailer if your vehicle's not connected. That's gonna bring your trailer to a nice, safe and slow stop rather than just freely traveling down the road. more

Curt Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit Installation - 2017 Grand Design Solitude Fifth Wheel- Video

Hi there safety conscious hollers 00:00:00:02, today in your 2017 Grand Design Solitude, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install CURT's Push-to-Test breakaway kit with battery.I know you are asking yourself, I already got a battery on my trailer, why do I need this Well, this is a separate battery that is hooked up just to the charge circuit that's isolated from the rest of our circuit to ensure that we've got that available in those emergency events when we need it.And really the biggest benefit of this system over your just typical battery and breakaway switch is the fact that it does have the tester here on it. The tester makes it quick and easy to just verify that you're going to be safe when going down the road because too many people just hook up and just get on their way without checking any of their stuff and then when the event happens, they find out when it's too late that their system wasn't ready to activate properly.But this one we can just, boom. We know we're ready to roll. We have three LEDs on our battery box indicating its status, the bottom light here is lit up and that's telling us that it's currently charging, above that we have the recharge light and the fully charged light. And those will come on when we hold down the test button letting us know what we need to do.I hear it saying that it's fully charged, so we don't need to charge up that slightly because it's currently charging, that's reading fully charged. If the battery was discharged and we we're to hold down the test button, do you recharge light with light up indicating that you need to recharge the battery.You can get inside the box to access the battery if you need to, there are two screws that you need to remove and then our cover will just slide open here, because this is a side loading battery box, which will allow us to easily slide out the battery and replace it with another one you use down the road when the battery is no longer any good, but we still have use of our box, tester and charger even though we replaced the battery.The battery located inside is going to be a small 12 volt five amp hour battery. more
