How many of you have chained a dually

[ThePowells]

I learned about putting on chains at an early age. My dad drove a wrecker (600 Holmes mounted on a C600 Ford) and I learned how and shortcuts quickly. We used 2X4s up to 6X6 blocks and tied the chains to wheels to carry them up and over.

Later in high school, we didn't do this "it might snow tomorrow, so schools out!" stuff and carried chains on buses. The down side was the male drivers were expected to chain up the women driver's buses. I seemed to forget those shortcuts then. Luckily, I only had to sling up chains once on a tractor trailer and that was for about 10 miles.

I have a set of chains in our Itasca. Single chains for outside dual only. Ive had to put them of about 4 times in 15 years. We’ve had a few feet of snow drop on us when out winter camping before. We typically didnt have to go but a half mile to get out to the highway where the plow trucks would eventually open a path. I would say max speed for me with chains is about 15 mph, maybe 20. The chains vibrate violently and anything over about 15mph is just destroying the coach.

Up until 2017 we winter camped a lot. You never know when you may need to trudge through 2-3’ of heavy snow.
