Hey Rob, welcome back! For your tandem axle travel trailer I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2319. These have a diamond pattern giving you more lateral stability, which is ideal on non-drive wheels. They also have built-in adjusters to keep them tight and secure.
I'm assuming both axles have brakes so I would get a pair for each to keep braking and traction even. These are Class S compatible so clearance probably won't be an issue. However, I do recommend measuring just to be sure. See the attached chart with clearance requirements.
Are you planning on traveling in snow, looking to be prepared, or is this to make sure you're following local laws?

Mostly to obey CA law. I’m not planning for snow but need to be prepared because it does snow in the area. Thank you. I have TC 2533 for my 4x4
