Talking New Trailer

I need some valuable advice from those that tow their snakes in an enclosed trailer. I just picked up my new trailer with 4 tie-down hooks. My qustion is how tight do I have to have the cobra tied down? Any and all suggestions will be valued. See you all at DVSFII hopefully with cobra in tac in enclosed trailer.

Default Tie Down

I am not sure I am doing everything right but this is the way I tie my snake into my enclosed trailer.

I pull my car in forward and leave it in either 1st gear or reverse and also pull on my emergency brake.

I put scotch blocks behind and in front of two of my cobra's tires.

I use four axel straps and four 2" ratchet tie downs. I pull each strap tight enough so that I have no forward or backward movement.

Have a save trip.

Suggest you leave the transmission always OUT of gear. The rocking back and forth when left in gear can/will
damage the tranny.
