Default 4 always

Hey Auswallaby,

I always use 4 straps, I can load my car onto the trailer in about 5 minutes.

I have set the trailer up to hold the two front wheels in place similar to the

Porsche set up and I cross the rear from the lower suspension points.

I always check after a while as the straps sometimes come adrift.

I have modified the straps so there is no long tail hanging off that will flap in

The wind. I find it extremely worrying that some guys towing a beautiful car will

Not spend the money on the correct straps or for that matter trailer. It is

Piece of mind for me to have the car thoroughly tied to the trailer. I enjoy towing

Now as I have had a bit of practice and the car is not going to move.

I also keep a spare wheel bearing kit, nuts, longer tie down straps, cable ties,

D shackles, tools and a 6 pack of Cider just in case .

Why is it not recommended to hook the winch onto the car?
