RE: [Chrysler300] Trailer and crossstraps

When I had my enclosed trailer, I crossed the front & rear. Never moved an inch.

Thanks for sharing that experience, Mike. Those trailer wheel wells can get
close and generate a bad rash.

I'll try to rig some additional right-angle ties at the rear of our trailer
as our CA highways are lumpy and likely to get lumpier. I think the crossed
lashup at the front precludes sideways movement there but I do use a
parallel lashup to the axle at the rear.

Do you use a dolly type of lashup with a network of straps over each wheel
to make the connection to the car? Bolted wood blocks might be an easier
way to limit sideways motion at the back.

C-300'ly,

Ihad a learning experience that ended up at the body shop. I have 
etrack front and use Axel straps in a cross tie on frame. Ithen used 
straight rear Axel straps parallel to the rear. On a long haul after a 
100 mi istopped to inspect and thecar shifted sideways into the 
wheel well ; next stop body shop

I installed rear d rings at about rear bumper on each side so in 
addition to straight parallel
There are two 90 degree at front and. Rear. Now stable even on 
washboard interstates
