I always sat that there's no such thing as a stupid question... just stupid people who ask questions. However, this is a stupid question because I should have asked it a long time ago.
The trailer on my 591 has the type of safety cables that are spring loaded and you pull out to hook up to the tow vehicle. Question is; should I cross the cables like I always did when I had chains? I have done this but it doesn't seem right. For one thing it's hard to do and then they seem to bind against each other. Considering the idea of crossing the chains is to cradle the tongue off the pavement if a disengagement of the hitch should occur but with the spring loaded cables will they cradle the tongue or just keep on pulling out?
What do you guys do?
