No matter what you are hauling in the hauler, be sure everything was in there nice and risk-free! Not only can gadgets bounce around and can damage the interior of your own trailer, but the shifting weight can be a safety issue as soon as towing your rig as time goes on.
AV Trailers recommends applying ratcheting nylon straps.
These straps come in a number of sizes, but the idea would be to find one that works by using the ratchet to fasten the strap and remove every one of the play.
First, place your toy where you choose it to rest in your toy hauler. Be sure to keep it away from this walls, furniture, or cabinets if achievable – rubbing against all of these items may cause problems for your toy hauler as well as your toy. Then, pertaining to bikes and ATVs, make sure to engage the parking brake and take it out of neutral where achievable. Then, you can connect the end of a strap to 1 d-ring, the center from the strap through the frame of your respective toy, and the other end with a D-ring on the opposite end of your respective toy hauler. Then, crank down the ratchet before the strap is nice and tight. After securing both front and back of the toy, be sure to move it to see if you experience any play or movements.
RECESSED “D”-RING TIE DOWNS Tie downs should be anchored into this FRAME or steel supports below a floor – not into your wood floor itself! All Dune Sport Model Hauler D-ring anchors originated from the factory this approach. However, most factories tend not to install D-rings into the leading or kitchen area – recommending that toys should only be kept inside rear “cargo” area. Some toy haulers only come with as small as 4 or 6 tie-downs, but securing your toys is still very possible. Remember that one could secure one bike to the D-Rings, then use perhaps the frame on that bike to tie down your following bike. Also, each D-Ring can be used for multiple tie-downs to be able to different bikes.
INSTALLING MORE TIE-DOWNS
When installing more D-Rings, use a tape measure to search for the exact place for installing along a steel center or part of the frame. Use a hole-saw (normally an attachment that connects into a drill) to cut the right sized hole. Then, use self-tapping screws to install the D-Rings. Your toy hauler might be available with additional tie-downs put in – and d-ring tie downs can also be available for individual sales from Dune Sport.
SECURING MOTORCYCLES
When securing motorcycles in your toy hauler (no matter whether a dirt bike, avenue bike, etc) remember that you need to make sure the bike won’t move front-to-back, as well as tip over on it is side.
