: I am interested in laws concerning what one needs to be legal in mid west states . Do I need safety chains ,brake- away kit, or both? Also can a brake -away malfunction and lock down when it's not suppose to ? Thanks as far as i know you need a break away kit and safety chains. i have never heard of a break away malfunctioning but i guess there could be a very slim chance though. i have a battery for a winch mounted on my trailer and since it is always charged i use it instead of those real little batteries that i feel are not very dependable. some states require that you have breaks on all axles. i also have mine dot inspected and a sticker placed on the trailer and truck but this can be done by yourself. you can get these stickers at most truck stops. i hope this helps.
