From what I have read if you are towing a trailer chains on the tow vechicle is requried. With brakes on the trailer then you need chains on one axle of the trailer also. This is Calif and Oregon.
Might have to get a set for the 4Runner and look in the garage for a set the fits the Casita. That is if I plan to travel in the winter.

Why did you buy two sets? Are you going to need all 4 tires chained when you get into a holy crap situation?
You should ALWAYS chain up all four tires on a 4x4 for safety and to prevent damaging the drive train. Chains increase the axle ratio by making the wheel "bigger". If you only chain up one axle, your rig will probably handle funky, especially if you only chain up the rear.
Of course, you're welcome to do anything you want; this is what I do on my rig. YMMV.

What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?
