Not proud of it, but, I have driven on 2 days where I forgot to latch my AUH.
Went over bumpyroads and everything no problem.
Safety chains are a joke...we rolled a TT due to PIO (wife) and the
chains lasted about a nanosecond. We were useing a square bar WD hitch
and bent both 1.25 inch bars and broke the hitch head.

BTW I do have a chain setup for my AUH should I ever be made to install them.
Thats pretty scary, but its nice to know it didn't come undone. Thats the one thing that is double or triple checked on mine that the latch is closed.
Safety chains, I have seen some pretty heavy duty chains, but those Andersen chains are not.
Nanosecond is just about right, one good whip of that fifth wheel ,and those chains would be history, most likely the threaded eye bolt would go first.
