Break Away lanyard box
Beware!! While traveling in Washington, my electric brake controller indicated an error. I pulled into the campground and noticed smoke coming from the bed of the truck. The break-away box was smoking and a fire started in the 4 square wiring box. Switched off batteries, disconnected everything, put out the fire before it got into the chase opening above to the coach. I found that the wire passing through one of the holes in the steel frame to the 4 square box had rubbed bare and all the wires were fried, break-away box melted. Yes, there was a fire in the box. About an hour later, another camper that pulled in next to me said his controller was showing an error. I showed and told him what happened to mine, and it was the same problem, just caught in time except for the melted box. This cost me about $500 to have it replaced and rewired.
