Last October we took a motorhome trip through mountains in southeastern British Columbia. I knew I was required to carry chains. Looking in local stores I found "cable chains" which are much lighter to carry, inexpensive, and somewhat easier to put on. I tried them out before the trip and they definitely helped traction, though not as much as heavy chains. I took them along on the trip, not needing them at all, but nice to have. I carried them in my van all last winter without using them. They fit the 16 inch MH wheels and 15 inch on the old 3/4 ton van and the minivan. I think cable chains are a good choice when likely to be needed only rarely.
