There are a few cases where you might be stopped. It's not likely. I drove it Portland to Denver and back for years 2xaweek commercially and have seen Motorhomes checked in "good weather". I give no idea why they where stopped . My co driver was a ex Oregon state cop. . Oregon blue mountain pass is one of those places. The fine is 300.00 .. + it's been a few years. Big yellow signs say chains must be carried over 10,000 lbs or towing. It says nothing about if the weather is bad . It is the rule and anyone is we agree able to do what they want .
I choose to buy a set of chains ( 90 bucks ) they are in a bag in the bottom of a storage bay. I've hung enough "iron" in my day and will never touch them again ,nor will I find myself paying out a fine for being caught in a bad situation like being pulled over for a turn signal out and asked to see my chains . Everyone must do what they feel is right for them.
