The step-by-step guide explains how to properly install an RV trailer hitch so that it remains securely fastened on the road.

According to the guide, placing the wheels in a locked position during installation is a very important step. This ensures the coupler can be accurately lowered onto the trailer hitch ball.
R&B Hitch of Ocala underscores safety with every step that is mentioned, including how to properly insert the hitch pin so that the ball remains secured and the trailer does not detach during transportation. The electrical plug is also a paramount safety feature, as this ensures the trailer’s brakes are functioning properly. The report demonstrates how to properly connect the cable to prevent it from dragging on the road.
The guide also covers the essential role that safety chains play in being able to confidently turn with the trailer. The crossing of the trailer chains, R&B Hitch of Ocala indicates, allows the trailer to smoothly handle sharp turns.
Lastly, the breakaway cable is explained as a key piece of equipment that needs to be installed in case of emergency. If, for any reason, the trailer were to detach or otherwise come loose during transit, the breakaway cable automatically activates the brake lights on the trailer and engages the braking system. The report states that the safest method is to attach the breakaway cable to the vehicle’s frame. “Some people recommend wrapping this breakaway cable around the ball of the trailer hitch and they claim that it is the only really safe place to secure it, but not necessarily the approach I will recommend,” explains the company.
With the latest report, R&B Hitch of Ocala continues to provide important trailer installation and safety information. The company offers mobile trailer hitch installations for a variety of hitch and vehicle models.
