Strap Setup Recommendation for Securing Honda Odyssey to Trailer
Question:
I want to haul my daughters 2011 Odessy on my aluminum car hauler for a month long trip out West. I am looking for assistance on locating adequate tie town points on the Odessy, and the proper tie down equipment to use. The trailer has 4 tie down hooks, each corner, 19 feet apart front to rear and 6+ feet side to side. I installed a drawtite class 3 hitch to haul the kids bikes. Did not know if I can tie down to it though. Thank you.

Typically wheel nets like the part # RM-2150 to secure vehicles to trailers. But for a trailer that has D-rings around the corner of the trailer I've ran ratchet straps through the spokes of the wheels or around them.
The trailer hitch would also work well to for securing it. For 20 foot long ratchet straps we have the # EM58629 which each have a 3,300 lb capacity.
