Chains?
Do you put chains on your trailer? What kind? Are they the same as regular truck chains? We hope we don't need them, but want to be prepared. Thanks!

RIGHT ON STICKDOG!!!:):) When I bought my new Dodge truck, I bought the optional feature that shuts down the engine whenever it gets within 5 miles of any snow. The engine will only work if the truck is turned around and driven in the opposite direction:):):):)poncho62 wrote:

Sorry, but do not understand this...What is the purpose of chains on non driving wheels?
Generally required by law if chains are required.- around here in the winter you will see signs stating that drag chains are required when the roads have snow and ice on them. drag chains are for the braking wheels of your TT. the chains will keep the TT from sliding into another lane of traffic and cause a serious wreck or pull you off the side of the mountain or road. hope that explains it for you. My drag chains I bought at yard sales. just know the size of your TT tires and wheels. most chains are marked still in boxes.

Trailer brakes don't work unless the wheels have traction!
