Which tires on Triple Axle to put tire chains on?
We will be headed up to a ski area in a couple weeks, and I want to know which tires/axles to put chains on the toy hauler if I am required to. Triple Axle, 40' fifth wheel toy hauler.

I always do the rear axle.
The placing them on the rear axle moves move the effective turning pivot rearward, making if more stable, and reduces yaw moments on the hitch.
Placing them on the rear axle also means that if a chain breaks, there is less likelihood of collateral damage. Placing them on the front axle means they may get wrapped around one of the following axles.
If it's really icy, (freezing rain is likely next week), I chain up the steer axle too.
