Seeing that my last inquiry disappeared ,I will try again. Could you please reference a link where it states thats chains are required for an Andersen Fifth wheel hitch. Would like to see it. Tried google, and did not see anything stating such a thing about the Andersen hitch
We seem to get these statements with nothing but blind faith to go by , then some run right out ,and spend money on something thats not needed .
Given that the AUH uses a ball connector, AZ law is a catchall of "all ball-style" hitches much have safety chains, IIRC. (I will admit that I haven't checked since the AUH came out, but I doubt our MVD has, either, so they would "default" to "all ball".) Same goes for pintle hitches. Clevis hitches are =supposed= to have them, but I've never seen one with them; I know =we= never did on the farm. I'd say we fell under the "implement of husbandry" rule that exempts farm use. :B
