Breakaway Switch as Parking Brake???

Thanks everyone, for your replies... very helpful!  Charlie, thanks for the info re the draw on battery power.  Tars, thanks for sharing your cliff camping experience.  Craneman, good idea about leaving the breakaway cable connected.... if I need to go offsite with my tv, I may even look around for another stationary object to hook up the cable, like a picnic table.  And, Furpod, perhaps the reason why little wreckage is visible from the picture, is that it's all been washed away... though if you look closely you can make out a lone wing of a Shasta.  ...j/k   (thanks all for your posts)

We camped a few weeks ago at Albiquiu Dam Campground in New Mexico.  A very similar site in terms of campsites on the edge of cliffs.  We were warned on checking in that the campground allowed no alcoholic beverages at all.  The reason was that so many people had driven off the cliffs.  Most of the sites have a fairly significant slope. 

Very careful chocking the wheels and disconnecting the trailer are essential in situations like this.  I had chocks but felt the need to move a big ol' rock to the low side of one wheel too at Albiquiu.  Using the breakaway switch to activate the pod brakes as parking breaks at Kirk Creek could cause you to wake up at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, assuming your roll gives you enough momentum to get that far.  Not a good idea.

Not a good idea. First, the bake magnets are not designed for continuous operation. They may burn out, thus being unavailable when you need them. Secondly the brakes draw ~3.5 Amps per brake from the trailer battery. For the single axle Pods that's 7 Amps continuous. That will soon run the battery down. Better to use good chocks.
