Make sure you have two safety chains from your trailer to your vehicle. Having two chains allows you to cross the chains under the tongue from left side of the trailer to right side of the vehicle, and right side of the trailer to left side of the vehicle (or the other way around).
This way if the trailer parts company from the vehicle the tongue can be supported on the chains.
Martyn I'm sure you're referring to the photo I posted. I will definitely run two safety chains. That photo was taken on a short test run near my home on Saturday and I had just welded the chain loops to the tongue and the threaded chain links to attach the chains to the loops were too big and wouldn't fit through the loops. So I just used one chain that I had with a smaller hook on it for the short test run.
Good reminder however about safety. Thanks.
