I have a travel trailer and am in Oregon. When chains or traction devices are "required", we have to chain up both the tow vehicle (rear wheels only) and the trailer (any axle). So in the winter, I carry chain chains for the truck and cable chains for the trailer. Have had to use them a couple times and was glad I did. Without a trailer, then the weight limit would apply. If below that weight limit, then snow tires and/or 4x4 would be sufficient.
I doubt very many people carry extra sets of chains. Though sometimes I do when winter snow camping as chains on both rear and front four wheels of a 4x4 can really pull.
Same here. The carry requirement applies from about November 1 - April 1 (don't keep track of the exact dates, as I put them in plenty early)

Chains on TT braking wheels. not any wheels unless all wheels are braking wheels.
