My 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL Campmobile is the only rear wheel drive vehicle I have had in a very long time. I have never used chains on it, but I am taking a trip in it this winter and of course want to be prepared. So, I bought a set of chains from Les Schwab. They are branded "Quick-Fit." I will be practicing installing them this afternoon. Back in the day, we used chains only on the rear. I have read some recommendations that even with rear wheel drive, chains should be installed on all four tires. Les Schwabb clerk told me rear wheel only., but that in extreme conditions (where else would I use chains?) perhaps all four. What does the list experience say about the camper? These small link, diamond pattern chains with supposedly easy to install set up are pretty expensive, and if the second pair is not needed unless I'm trying to climb a real back country road in snow and ice (I'm not going to do that), then I'd rather not buy the second set. mcneely
