5th wheel trailers do not require safety chains the way ball hitches like goosenecks do. Chains are only needed on ball-type couplers like standard receiver hitches and goosenecks. Since a 5th wheel connects at a king pin rather than a ball no chains are needed. Gooseneck hitches like # BWGNRK1111-5W include safety chain loops but 5th wheel hitches do not.
