Thanks for all the advise. I need to make the trip around the 15th with a day or two of flexibility either way depending on the weather.
At this point I have decided to leave the Toy Hauler on the Pendleton side of the pass at a RV park and then return to it when I finish my business in Boise.
That said I'm thinking I should be prepared, what is the consensus on type of chains(cables, chains, cam locks) for the rear axle of the trailer, keeping in mind the trailer weighs about 10,000

South Dakota pulling the 5er, all was well until I came upon a bridge that was curved as in part of a corner in the road and covered in a sheet of ice. It was like HOLY SH!T. I let off enough to where I was not accelerating or slowing down and hung on for dear life. The truck started to drift but I made it thru the corner.

I towed snowmobile trailers all over the northeast using mountain roads most times to get to the best trails. Snowmobile trailers can be large and heavy with two to four machines and gear inside. I have never seen one trailer with chains yet thousands of people participate in this activity.
Depends on the conditions.
Agree, generally ^ this is correct. And if the roads are bad enough, youโre generally going so slow that most conditions I wouldnโt chain the trailer up either. But there are some, and Iโve had my trailer try to pull my chained up truck around on steep icy forest roads.
In general if youโre headed over a pass and not hairpin turns and not steep, like the OP is asking about, yeah I wouldnโt chain the trailer ever.
