Don't know where you are located, but in Oregon, when traction tires or devices are required, if your towing, you will need to chain up the tow vehicle and one axle of any trailer. Also you are required to carry chains for the tow vehicle and trailer whenever the "carry chains" signs are up. On I-5 and some of the common passes they are getting pretty strict about the carry requirements and have stopped vehicles to check. If no chains your fined and not allowed to proceeed.
Personally, if it's bad enough to chain up, I pull off and wait it out. Been there, done that, and mountain driving with a chained up trailer is NOT fun. Much easier to stop, turn on the heat, pop in a DVD, and watch everyone trying to chain up.
