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.

Just curious, for those who may know the answer, does chaining up an axle on the RV not invite a whole world of expensive damage and repair given the relatively tight wheel well of the RV? Those tire chains can move around quite a bit, can't they? I ask because I have never had to chain up an RV an wouldn't mind learning about the ins and outs of this practice.
Thanks

I have had links break and cause some slapping, but my trailers have never had any utilities in or near the wheel wells.
The most important think is making the chains TIGHT. I drive about 400 yards after putting the on, with tensioning bungee, then retighten. As long as they are tight, I rarely have problems. I typically run Quick-Fit diamond chains all around, van and trailer. I use "spider" bungees now because they keep the chains righter than the loop style chain bungees. I don't like the strap style bungees because if they come loose, the S-hooks are really good at finding their way into tires.
