THE SAFETY CHAIN tTRAVEL TRAILER
There are different safety chain requirements by the various States.

meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross trailer weight.
Always have the safety chain(s) attached when towing. Install them

a manner so they do not restrict sharp turns of the tow
vehicle-trailer combination, but tight enough so they do not drag on
the ground.
