Video Transcript for Review of Andersen Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Adapters Parts - Safety Chain Kit - RM3230
Ellen: Hey everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're taking a quick look at the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit. This gives you everything that you need to replace the bolts on your coupler or your king pin coupler, to make sure that you get these attachment points that gives you a place to locate your clevis hooks or the shackles to attach your chains from your trailer to your vehicle. It's always a good idea to have safety chains are there as a backup, just in case there's anything that goes wrong, in case there's an accidental disconnect. So you have that secondary system to hold everything together while you get to safety and make sure that everything is taken care of. So let's look a little closer at each thing and talk a little bit more about what comes with the kit.
So we'll have our two chains. One end has our big clevis hook there.This is a 5/16th inch clevis hook with the forged steel, has a nice coating on it to help protect from rust or corrosion. The other end is just a link. So you can use the shackles that this comes with to attach it either to the point on your vehicle, safety chain loops on your vehicle or to these eyelets there. It doesn't really matter which way you do it just as long as each is attached securely or each end of the chain is attached securely.
So one end of the shackle is threaded. So you want to make sure you put it through there. These are going to be a half inch shackle. Our chains measure at 32 and a half inch long with the hook in place. Just the chain by itself is 35 inches long.
The break strength that this kit is rated for is 24,000 pounds although the safe working load limit is 4,700 pounds or 4,700 pounds.That's pretty much all there is to it. One last thing I want to tell you for the install. Whenever you're putting these in place, you do have to replace the bolts in that coupler pit assembly. And for the one that's going on the side with your remote cable release, you want to make sure you put it through with this guy away from that. So you don't block it or cause any interference between the two.That's very much everything we have to talk about with the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit.
I hope this video has been helpful for looking at this kit to make sure it's what you need. We do have a lot of other towing accessories and other truck accessories in general here at etrailer.com. So check them out. Thanks for watching.

Exactly as described. Well built, works perfectly with my Anderson Ultimate hitch.
by: Wayne L02/06/2024
Quality of the Andersen ultimate hitch safety chains is excellent and fit perfect. But the best part of this purshase was the customer service I received on the phone when there was a problem because I did not have our lot number on the shipping address.. I called etrailer, a friendly rep answered immediately and told me they would notify UPS with the correction. She called me back 5 minutes later to let me know it was all corrected. Item was here the next day. No one now days gives that good old fashion service! Job well
done etrailer. You will e my first choice for my towing needs from here on out.

Etrailer had the required safety chains for my Andersen 5th wheel hitch install an attachment was easy.
by: Mark 02/19/2023
The installation of this safety chain set was very easy. It will give me many years of use. It takes just a couple of minutes to hook up, and gives me the security I was looking for. Great product.
by: Joe G01/03/2020
This was an excellent choice for stable, reliable and ease of use hitch. Very easy to hook up in many directions. Would recommended this hitch.
by: Chuck N.01/11/2017
Great quality and arrived just as descibed. If you tow a 5er these are great safety chains. Some states require these chains. The are designed to be used with the Anderson Ultimate Hitch.....which BTW is another great product

So far, so good!
by: Ross11/13/2021
Every piece of this kit is heavy duty and seems high quality. I haven't towed with it yet but can't imagine that anything could break it. I will say that it comes with the bolt already screwed into the eye and it's not easy to take apart. Was able to use a lot of leverage to get it apart without damage. I recommend this product.

After using these chains for a year, Im glad I bought them and would still recommend them. I have a lot of confidence that they will keep my 5th wheel attached to the truck if needed. I wont tow my camper without them.

Works as advertised. No issues

Works Great. Other than RV dealers struggling with it broke the phenolic once I would recommend to anyone.

Just as described and and this is required in some states for pulling a 5th wheel and this place is fantastic with there fast shipping and quality of service

Just great
by: Rob L.11/20/2015
The safety chains for the Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel connection are just as stated - very heavy-duty safety chains with the replacement bolts for the pin adapter. I was surprised at how heavy they are. I was shocked at the price when I looked for the rail-mount loops to connect the chains to the truck bed. For now, I am looping the chains around the rear legs of the hitch...
by: Bart F08/21/2017
Bought the chain kit as a "just incase it's a legally required anywhere I tow" and it's perfectly as described and expected. Installs easily just like the rest of the hitch, and does everything it's supposed to do. Still loving the hitch too, it pretty well stays in my truck since I hardly use the bed. It has been the best solution to give me options on how to configure to allow me to pull a 5th wheel camper with a mega cab ram, that is also ram box equipped.
by: Diane J.11/22/2016
These Andersen Ultimate Safety Chains are heavy on the duty! I purchased these for towing an all steel horse trailer with a Reese gooseneck hitch. Nothing is more important than the safety of my horses and I can rest easy knowing that these safety chains will do the job if it ever becomes necessary.
by: Rick S.08/10/2017
I received the Andersen Ultimate hitch and Safety chain kit on Wednesday. This hitch is fantastic! It slid right into my existing standard rails and the coupler went on as easy as advertised. I have a 2016 Ram 2500 short bed and Grand Design Reflection 337RLS. I had a Curt E16 with the slider and would have to use the slider for tight maneuvers. I no longer have to worry about it. I now have plenty of clearance and I don't have to get out of the truck to engage the slide. I also like that I shed about 100 lbs of weight in the bed by making the switch. The ride is noticeably smoother and quieter.
Great product.

Product was exactly what I ordered and received within a couple of days.

Quality parts at a fair price and with no shipping charges in todays expensive world is great. Thank you.

I have purchased a lot from etrailer and this will not deter me from future purchases with them. This package was poorly packaged and arrived with the top having been TAPED OVER TWICE. I did NOT open this package at all to see if all the contents were still there. I phoned your customer service for a Return Authorization. This is very unusual for etrailer and the first poorly packaged item I have received from etrailer. I will still do business with them in the future.
by: Brooks 05/15/2020
Fantastic delivery. I ordered this safety chain kit for my 5th wheel camper on Thursday and the package was delivered on the following Monday. This is an exceptional quality set of safety chains. I am sure if these ever had to come into play, something else would break before the chains ever broke down.
by: Hoss2503/24/2017
Customer service was excellent. They responded immediately when I had a shipping question and product was received on time. They followed up to ensure they were received.
The safety chains and king pin box replacement eye-bolts worked as advertised along with the Andersen hitch they were purchased for. Installation was very simple and no problems were noted.
by: CCH09/02/2017
It's chains and eyebolts, so all I can review is how easy it was to order and how Super Fast it shipped. Always happy with etrailer - they have always gone out of their way to help.

Terrific!
by: Scott01/22/2018
Since some states require safety chains for gooseneck type hitches and the Andersen Ultimate is kind of a hybrid I thought I’d error on the side of caution and get the safety chains.
by: Patrick N08/15/2017
Purchased it because of a trip to Indiana and from what I have read it's required. Went on without any issues, if I was to change anything it would to have included the torque specifications, luckily I still had my original installation instructions.

Even if you don't buy from them they will help you figure out what best for your trailer and get you the part numbers.. Basically they are the best of the best!! Thx E-trailer for all you're help!
by: Jim11/21/2016
Just extra assurance to have the safety chains. There are some states that require safety chains be used on towing of any kind. Better safe than sorry! They are stylish gold and maintain their finish and color. Very happy with the whole product.
by: Chris Abbott01/06/2017
The product is very well made, of high quality, and made by the manufacturer of the hitch I purchased. Given it is a safety device, these were all important factors to me. I got 2nd Day Shipping due to a possible time sensitive need. The product actually was received 3 days after shipping, which was OK as I allowed for an extra day contingency when ordering. I've used etrailer on several occasions and they have always provided good service, required consultation, great products and fast shipping.

- Break Strength Rating of Andersen Ultimate Safety Chains RM3230The breaking strength of the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chains # RM3230 according to my tech contact at Andersen is the 24,000-lb figure shown on this item's page. He also quoted a working load limit (WLL) of 4700-lbs.
view full answer... - Andersen Ultimate Connection Chain Mounting Plate Availability The Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks # RM3230 is the only way that we have the chain mounting points available for the Andersen hitches.
view full answer... - What is Weight Capacity of Andersen Safety Chains # RM3230The Andersen safety chains part # RM3230 that you referenced have a capacity of 24,000 lbs. If the weight of your trailer is less than that this will work well as a safety chain that won't break.
view full answer... - Why Isn't There a Safety Chain Law for Fifth Wheel Hitch Towing Like GooseneckThat is an extremely good question that I have also asked. The answer isn't awesome though. It turns out the rule for safety chains is based on if there's a hitch ball present like bumper pull trailers and also gooseneck trailers. Since there isn't a ball involved with fifth wheel trailers the law just doesn't apply. My guess is it was never adopted as an additional safety precaution because of how large the hitches are and how much chain would be required to allow the trailer to turn without...
view full answer... - How Do Safety Chains of Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit Attach to Fifth Wheel RailThe Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks # RM3230 that you referenced comes with safety chain tabs that install into open slots on your fifth wheel rails like you can see in the attached picture.

- Replacing Safety Chains on 18K Goose Neck TrailerIf you do not have access to a welder to remove the old chain and install a new one you might use the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chains # RM3230 that you referenced. These can install without welding since they include two clevis D-ring connectors. These are rated for 24,000-lbs. The clevis hardware will allow you to attach them, without welding, to the existing loops.
view full answer... - What Has to Be Removed to Install the Andersen Ultimate Safety ChainsI attached a set of very detailed instructions for the Andersen safety chain kit part # RM3230 that you referenced. Basically you will have to remove the block that attaches to the king pin of your trailer so that you can remove the two coupler bolts that hold it to the king pin and replace with the bolts that come with this kit that have the loops for the safety chain attachment. I attached a review video for this kit as well.
view full answer... - Are Safety Chains Required to Tow 5th Wheel Trailer with Gooseneck AdapterState laws for trailer safety chains do vary a bit. In Indiana safety chains are required when pulling a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch and any adapter. You may prefer to use chains like # RM3230 just for their safety margin, even if not required, to avoid any potential issues as you're travelling. 5th wheel trailers do not require safety chains but gooseneck trailers generally do.
view full answer... - Safety Chains for 7000-lb Car Hauler TrailerAs with any other item on a trailer, such as tires, wheels, winches or jacks, when selecting safety chains you want to ensure a good safety margin, in other words, you want to use an item that has a good bit more capacity than you will actually need. I suggest the Tow Ready Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks, part # 49150, which is a set of two 44-inch chains with mounting hardware.
view full answer... - Are Safety Chains Required for the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch SystemThere are certain states that will require safety chains to be used with the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter part # AM3200 such as California but not every states does so you will need to check with local officials to see if they are required where you'll be towing. That said, we do offer a kit for this exact purpose, the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks part # RM3230.
view full answer... - Will Andersen Ultimate Safety setup part # RM3230 Fit Reese Elite Safety Chain Loops # RP58468Yes, the Andersen Ultimate Safety setup part # RM3230 that you referenced does work with the Reese Elite Safety Chain Loops # RP58468 that you also mentioned.
view full answer... - Safety Chain Loops that Can Fit Ram Rail Kit and Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain KitWe've test fit the safety chains of the # RM3230 on the safety chain loops part # C60617 which fits the factory rail kit of the 2015 Ram 3500 that you have and found they fit really well. These would be wide enough to not interfere with the rail kit of your truck as well as an Andersen Ultimate.
view full answer... - Andersen Ultimate Hitch and Safety Chain Connections in 2017 Ford F-250Andersen does have a safety chain kit for their Ultimate setup. For that you would want the part # RM3230. The Andersen Ultimate # AM3225 would cover up the pucks of the factory rail kit of a 2017 Ford F-250 though. For a hitch a much better solution would be the B and W Hitch part # BWGNRK1116.
view full answer... - How to Select Safety Chains for Use with Agricultural TrailersSafety chains should be selected by first confirming the weights of the two trailers when they are fully loaded. Next you will determine the length you need for the two ends to reach the trailer and truck without dragging on the ground. For example, Andersen Ultimate Safety Chains # RM3230 is a pair of 35-inch chains with 3-1/2-inch levis hooks, D-rings and hardware. These are rated for 24,000-lbs. These and other chains can be seen by clicking on the link provided.
view full answer... - Do I Need Safety Chains for My Andersen Ultimate Hitch in CaliforniaAccording to California Towing Code #29003: Every hitch, drawbar, coupler or other connection between motor vehicles towing must be securely attached to the vehicle and be strong enough to handle the weight of whatever you are towing. So, you will need safety chains like the # RM3230 which are designed for use with your Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel hitch # AM3200
view full answer... - California Required Safety Chains for Andersen Ultimate HitchWe have what you need for your Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System, # AM3200. That is the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks, # RM3230. This should allow you to be compliant with California Towing Code #29003. NOTE: The two eyelet bolts replace the king pin coupler bolts that ship with the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection.

- Will Andersen Safety Chains Fit Curt Ram Safety Chain LoopsYes the hooks of the Andersen Safety Chain set part # RM3230 will fit the safety chain loops of the Curt kit part # C60617 that you also mentioned. As far as length these are 38-1/2 inches long which should work pretty easily as well.
view full answer... - Availability Of Andersen Hitch Safety Chain Kit 3215Currently we only carry the Andersen Ultimate Safety Chain Kit # RM3230. The main difference between this kit and the kit you are looking for is the safety chain attachments. The Reese Attachments # RP50223 will work similarly to the ones included in the 3215 chain kit from Andersen.

What you can use with your gooseneck hitch is the Andersen Ranch Hitch, # AM3100. I have included a link to a video review for you. I also recommend the safety chain kit # AM3109. I have also included a link to an FAQ article on towing a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck trailer hitch.
view full answer... - Is There a Steel Version Of The Andersen Ultimate 5TH Wheel Hitch That Fits 2018 Ram 2500 Prep/PucksThe Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 has a steel construction. Unlike the gooseneck connected systems that are made of aluminum this adapter is designed to drop into 5th wheel rails. Since your 2018 Ram 2500 has the factory prep/puck system a Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099 will fit into either the 6-1/2" or 8' bed length mounts. This will allow you to use the Andersen hitch. Since the Andersen hitch makes your trailer connection...

I test-fitted these hooks on the Curt Safety Chain Loops for Ram Prep # C60617 here in our warehouse. The hook itself fits over the loop but the spring-loaded keeper does not have enough room to close fully. We have found that the safety chains part # FCHA0070324 will fit the loops. This chain, which is sold as a single chain not as a set, is slightly longer too at about 47-inches...
view full answer... - Andersen Ultimate Hitch Compatibility With B&W 5TH Wheel Rail Kit On a 2016 Ford F-250 Super DutyYes, you will be able to use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails # BWRVK2401 on your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Both these items use the industry standard measurements for the mounting points. It is best to place the Andersen hitch in the rails before you tighten everything in place. This will ensure that it fits properly as there is some play in the bolt holes that is likely the reason...
view full answer... - How Do Safety Chains Work with Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection # AM3200The safety chains for # AM3200 are # RM3230. The two eyelet bolts included with the safety chains will replace the king pin coupler bolts that ship with the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection. The other ends with the hooks will need to attach to the 5th wheel rails using safety chain loops such as # C16000.

I may have a solution for you however. Take a look at the Demco Recon Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter, part # DM8550045. It clamps onto the gooseneck ball in the truck and provides a fifth wheel hitch. Please note that some trailer manufacturers will void a warranty if an adapter is used.
