Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be talking about the Bright Way Breakaway System for your trailer. Basically what this is going to do, it's going to make sure that, when, if in the instance that your trailer comes disconnected from your vehicle, it's actually going to have a battery in here, it's going to lock up your brakes and bring it to a safe stop. This cable right here is going to be connected to your truck, SUV, whatever it may be, and basically if it comes disconnected, and your chains also fail, this is going to be a another fail safe. When you pull it like this, it's actually going to complete a connection and lock up your brakes, bringing it to a safe stop.

The safety system is required in most States for your larger trailers that are a little bit heavier, and it's just going to give you a third fail safe just in case something goes awry.Bright Way does have a bunch of options. We do have the one right here that's going to come with everything you need. The battery, the case and the charger, and of course your breakaway switch. There is one tier up from this kit and it's going to have a push to test button, just to test your voltage. There is a more basic kit, and what the basic kit's going to come with is basically everything, just minus the charger.On our website we do have replacements for our breakaway switch here, regardless of what the issue is, or if you just wanted to get a new one, we will have a replacement of that.

If your battery is not holding a good charge, we do sell replacements of these batteries as well. Or if you just wanted to add a charger to your existing system, if you don't have one, we do sell the chargers separate as well.For your larger trailers that might take a little bit more load to lock up those rear brakes, we do have a push button test kit, we have three of them, and they're going to have a little bit beefier of a charger. The charger we have here is actually going to give us about 0.5 amps to our battery, but the bigger ones are going to come with a bigger battery, and go from one amp to eight two amp charger.For your smaller trailers, I do believe that this smaller kit with the 0.5 amp charger is going to get the job done. All we really need is for those brakes to lock up and hold for about 15 minutes, that's the requirement in most States. But for your bigger trailers, we are going to probably need a bigger battery and a bigger charger, and those push test kits on our website are definitely going to get the job done.There are three different ways we can wire this up to our trailer.

The first is going to be the simplest setup. Basically we're just going to connect everything together but not have anything charging our battery. That will require us to make sure that this thing is properly charged whenever we're going down the road, so it's going to do what we need it to.There's another easier way, and basically that's going to be just taking our positive from our battery and tying it in to the positive coming from our seven pole. There's a couple of cons to that setup, just because it can either overcharge your battery, or it can actually drain it since it's actually tied into the system that's feeding your whole entire trailer.Then there's the third way, which in my opinion is the right way, and the best way, and that's where
