Break-Away Accessories
Trailer breakaway kits and accessories are essential safety devices required on most trailers equipped with electric brakes. A breakaway system activates your trailer’s brakes if it ever disconnects from your tow vehicle, helping prevent dangerous rollaways and accidents.
At The Outdoor Warehouse, we stock reliable breakaway kits, replacement batteries, and switches from trusted brands like Tekonsha, Hopkins, Demco, and Pollak. Whether you’re upgrading an older system or replacing worn parts, our selection ensures your trailer stays compliant with DOT and state safety regulations.
Expert Tips for Breakaway Accessories:
- Most states require a working breakaway system on trailers over 3,000 lbs with electric brakes—check your local laws before towing.
- Test your breakaway switch and battery before long trips—batteries typically need replacement every 2–3 years.
- If your breakaway battery doesn’t hold a charge, upgrade to a sealed, maintenance-free kit for reliability.
- Always pair a breakaway system with a working brake controller for maximum safety and compliance.
With trailer breakaway kits and accessories from Tekonsha, Hopkins, Demco, and Pollak, you’ll tow with peace of mind knowing your trailer meets safety standards and stays under control.
