Fifth Wheel Hitch Selection help

[tech740]

I use the safety chains. I have a few friends that are dressed in blue. They said if a gooseneck needs them then the Andersen needs them. Granted that is their interpretation, but I figure for the extra 2 seconds it takes to connect them it saves time on the side of the road if I am ever stopped. It is a ball and coupler connection, no way to argue that. I have also read it is certified as a fifth wheel connection but that doesn't make it a pin connection is what I was told. Right or wrong I will just use them and not have to worry about the headache. Slit a pool noodle and place them in that and the noise goes away also.
