ADDED: I've always understood the same as you: If it has a ball and a "pawl that locks under the ball" then it requires safety chains, without regard to whether the ball is in the bed, on the rear bumper or on a bar inserted into a receiver. So, IMHO (for what that's worth) if it's being towed with a gooseneck hitch or a fifth wheel hitch that connects to a gooseneck ball, then safety chains are required...
But, who am I except a casual observer... I definitely don't consider myself an expert in towing laws !!!!! |
I put myself in the same category(not an expert). As I said I wasn't trying to be argumentative just wondering if you had more insight based on the info.
