Towing Question
 
I've grown tired of my ineptitude, and am taking my car up to TSE for Savington and Crashcar to finish. See build thread I'll be posting soon.

I'm borrowing my friends car hauler, and am wondering if anyone has any towing "must knows" before I go. Specifically, car tie down. My car still has the factory baby teeth. I was planning on using these to secure the car to the trailer, with ratcheting tie-downs.

I tow a 29' 5th wheel on a regular basis, so I know the general towing rules and theories. Just never hauled a car on a trailer before.

Thanks.

I'll try hard to not miss the obvious.

I check the straps at every fuel/food stop, everything else will be easy peasy for you if your normal load is a big 5th wheel. See you this weekend.

Cool, Thanks.

Straps are the only thing I check, whenever I stop.

dont forget to bring sav the key and lug nut socket if its non-standard

looks like an easy drive... at night. looks really annoying during the day unless la traffic is better.

Did not know that. Why? There is no engine or trans in it, so this will be easy.
