When we left to go south this past winter the county road we live on was covered with ice. I have four wheel drive. Without hooking up tried to drive on it and had a heck of a time, so put chains on the truck hooked up and very slowly proceeded to get away from the ice. Three miles. Did not put chains on the trailer. If I was in a condition that would require braking or faster travel around curves I would have. One time I was chatting with a highway patrolman and he said that if you are driving and chains are required (as they are sometimes in this part of the world) they must be on both TV and one axle of the trailer. You do not want that 5th wheel going sideways on you. Big rigs chain up that way. So don't think that 4WD will always save your behind.
