For chains on your travel trailer with 205/75-15 tires, I recommend using chains on the braking axle. For this route, a great set of tire chains is the pewag Servo RS Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair # PWRS75. The great thing about these chains is the self-tensioners. This component takes away the headache of having to re-tighten the chains after each trip. Also, the pewag chains are Class S compatible if you have limited wheel well clearance on your trailer. Since the links are only 3.2mm thick, you receive great traction on deep snow without the higher risk of wheel well damage that comes with chains with thicker links.

With the pewag chains, it is important to measure your wheel well clearance to make sure that no components on the body of your trailer interfere with the chains. The chains require a minimum of 1.46" (37 mm) between the top of the tire tread and the wheel well and 0.59" (15 mm) between the tire's sidewall and the vehicle itself. I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows how to measure your clearance.

As with all tire chains, I recommend consulting with your trailer's owner's manual to make sure that you take heed of all guidelines and tips available.
