For snow tire chains that are easy to install you will want to go with self-tensioning chains, and for that type of chain which fits your trailer's 235/80-16 tires you will need the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH01594250.
The Konig chains are the simplest to install because you just loop them around your tires and make a couple of connections before driving forward, which activates the tensioning and you're done!
The self-tensioning are really the best for ease of install, though they are a premium option, so if you wanted something that isn't quite as simple to install but is easier on the wallet and fits your 235/80-16 tires, I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2319.
The Titan chains require you to make the connections and tension them yourself so they will take more time but are a quality chain, it really just comes down to how long you want to spend putting the chains on. I've added links below to video reviews of both options for you to check out as well.
