Question:
I purchased a pair of 27inch tow chains pt # 2118-605-04, that were too short for my replacement. I looked at replacing it with a longer chain, pt# 2118-348-04, but I noticed on both chains that the chain diameter was 1/4. My current chain diameter is 5/16. My camper is 7.300# GTW. I couldnt find a 5/16inch diameter chain with the same style Sinch hooks on the end. -any help ?

Expert Reply:
For a safety chain with a 3/8 inch diameter that is 42 inches long the part # 63451 would be a great option. These use clevis style hooks instead of S-hooks as this is a higher capacity chain where this style of connector is typically seen.
I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
