Yes technically you need chains.
Why the big issue with chains if needed ? How big a deal could that be, seems to be a lot made out of nothing.
I feel the same way. I'd use the chains even if they weren't required. I don't drop and re-hitch trailers often enough to worry about the time it takes to do one more step.
I'm strongly considering the Andersen for the 5'er we have in our future. If I get one, I think I'll leave the chains connected in the bed and hook them to eyes on the trailer adapter when hitching.
But then again, after reading the thread on 5th wheel tongue safety it might be better to leave them hanging from the king pin adapter.
Just removed the Andersen from my truck to haul some stuff. Pulled the hitch out, all 32lbs of it, turned the B&W over, but left the chains secured to the truck 'cause I was lazy and they laid flat enough. I love this setup.
