Anderson is NOT a Gooseneck adapter. That is where the confusion began. Lippert has no idea about the part number you gave them.
Contact Anderson Mfg, they will ease your mind.
They will not however give you a definitive answer on the safety chain question, and start saying well, if and depends. It is in fact a ball and coupler, and in many states will require safety chains. Which they now have as an option. Other than location it is no different than any other gooseneck hitch. It will still require the extra lifting and lower of the trailer to hitch and unhitch.
Someone ask them for a printed list of states that do not require safety chains with their hitch and see what they say. My guess is they will decline to provide that list.

Have you contacted Anderson? I am pretty sure they state on their site that safety chains are not required.
In Texas they are not, that is where I am.
And for any people here worried about the Anderson Hitch and safety, google it. I ciuld not find a single case of failure or of it coming unhitched. Hard to hide these things in todays world of information.
