[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3542111, member: 7900"] True story about safety chains. My dad was a professional truck driver, and we also liked camping. However, he had the philosophy that if the camper broke loose from the tow vehicle, he wanted it going off on its own and destroying itself and not do any damage to the tow vehicle. So, he would attach the safety chain to the vehicle with two or three wraps of baling wire. Trailer broke loose one time and stayed rock steady behind the tow vehicle with nary a bobble of the ride. After that, he always attached the chains properly. That baling wire can be really tough stuff. [/QUOTE]
