AFETY HAINS
Safety chain requirements vary from state to state. Your RV is equipped with
chains to meet SAE standard requirements for maximum gross trailer weight.
Always have the safety chains attached when towing. Install them as shown below
so they do not restrict sharp turns, but tight enough so they do not drag on the
ground.
Fig. 4.6 Safety chain installation
Crisscross the left safety chain under the coupler and attach to the right mounting
slot in the trailer hitch; repeat with the right safety chain. Slack for each length
should be the same but not more than necessary to permit the vehicle to turn at its
minimum radius.
