Twisting the chains to shorten them is not a good idea.

LOL, the guy who wrote that dissertation has to be a member of an RV forum. Talk about complicating the uncomplicated. It's a safety chain for a trailer, not rigging for the erection of a precast box girder for a highway overpass.
Twisting a turn or two to take up slack will never hurt a **** thing. He should write up an article about how the RV manufacturers attach the chains to the A frame which is the weak point about 99% of the time. It's usually a small length of 3/8" rod through both chains and welded by some half assed welder at Lippert.
