The Reese Goose Box # RP85FR air ride coupler you referenced does not come with safety chains. Safety chains, such as the Tow Ready # 49150, are always a good idea whether they are required or not.

I highly recommend checking with the local and state laws where you will be traveling to determine the safety chain requirements.

The issue is that a trailer that couples to a ball would require safety chains in many geographical locations. Though the 5th wheel trailer may not require them, the Goose Box couples to a ball so adding them would be a good idea.
