RE: [RC] [RC] Snow chains on trailers? - Ranelle Rubin

Lucy,

Same concerns myself..Lucky us Californians have two rides to chose from this weekend..thinking of going to Buck Meadows Boogie for the same reason. I hate hauling my horses in snow! Scares the begeeses out of me.

From what I undertand, you have to chain up your truck when you are hauling,
even if it has 4X4 with snow tires whenever there is even an R1 chain control. R1 is chains or snow tires, R2 is chains or 4x4 with snow tires, R3 is chains only, even on 4x4's.

Wanna go south? Checked out the weather and it looks much better in Groveland.

Subject: [RC]   Snow chains on trailers?
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:19:48 -0700

It looks like we are due for some "snow flurries" this Friday
to get over Donner Summit to go to the High Desert Ride in
NV.  :(

My truck's 4x4 and I've got snow-n-mud tyres on it, but I'm
wondering if snow chains for the trailer would be a good idea.
I've got dual-axels - would I put them on the front wheels of
the trailer or the back?

(I really don't want to be in a position where chains are needed
at all and am planning on watching the radar loop and hopefully dodging the snow - but may not be so lucky on the way home...)
