When I had my new Greystone 32RL delivered to my RV park, the delivery guy helped set the unit up, get it leveled and, just before leaving, pulled the breakaway switch and stashed it in the king pin box. As this is my first RV and he was a very experienced RV delivery and set-up driver (has worked for the RV sales place for years), I didn't think about it.
I just read on page 25 of the Heartland 5th Wheel, Travel Trailer, and Toy Hauler Owner's Manual a notice that states: "Do not use the breakaway switch as a parking brake, as it is intended for emergency use only and such use will drain your RV battery."
If I'm connected to shore power fulltime, is this an issue? The battery is continually recharging.
What else might be occurring with the breakaway switch activated -- damage to the braking system?
