When using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13073, normally just one strap is needed for something like a bike rack, but since you are using this for a heavier carrier for a wheelchair, I recommend using two of the following Curt stabilizing straps:

- Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories # 18050

Two of these straps is going to help ensure you have the most possible stability when transporting the carrier.
