Tina,
Whew, you had me worried for a while. A trailer through the rockies in the winter time is not a picnic. Chains come in 2 types, chain link and cable. If you find cables, they are better for radial tires and need less clearance. Most auto parts stores carry them.
Remember, don't use tire chains on dry pavement and try not to exceed 50kph!

If you take the southern route, Oklahoma and Las Vegas, you will not need chains. I80 will take you through at least two high mountain passes, where cahins are required if the road is snow covered. If course, you cold stop and ski at Lake Tahoe...

Klaus
Merry Christmas
