Attachments for brake cable

Hi all; I have a simple question. How are you attaching your brake cable from your trailer to your TV? Are you just clipping it to your chain or somewhere else on your vehicle. Thanks for your thoughts

I do not clip mine to the chain. I clip mine to the "D" ring on my hitch receiver. The same place I clip the chain hooks.

We will double the loop and connect it to the hitch pin/Clevis pin holding our hitch head into the receiver.

I use a quick link, similar too:

Everbilt 1/4 in. Zinc-Plated Quick Link-42704 - The Home Depot

I attached the link to my TV where the trailer chains would get hooked up.

Carabiner. Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowes, WalMart etc. will have them for $2 each (or less).
