Safety Chains Andersen Hitch
I have ordered the Andersen Hitch after reading the responses to my earlier question posted here about the hitch. Now I am wondering how necessary are the safety chains that are now sold as an option...

I tried to find the list or requirements of the Interstate Commerce Commission with no luck?
First result from Google
49 CFR 393.70(d)(5)
yep, I know how to google, I also know how to read the ECFR... (d)(5) doesn't apply to 5th wheels its for towbars or full trailers ie. dollys.
So in summary, no chains for my 5th wheel in MS because I meet the requirements :)
