transporting games using Harbor Freight 4'x8' folding trailer
I sold my pickup truck and inherited my wife's Nissan Rogue which has a CVT and therefore an advised 1000 lb towing capacity (including trailer).
I bought one of the Harbor Freight folding 4x8' trailers, mostly for transporting my dirt bike. I added the plywood decking and multiple tie down points on the sides, so it now looks pretty similar to this pic I found on the web
I've not made the staked side rails and I'm not really inclined to.
Has anyone moved two games using the same setup? The trailer not wide enough for two full size games to lay on their backs. So I was pondering transporting them upright back to back, one each side of the axle. Lashing them together using two 2" endless ratchet straps, one around the bottom, the other above the control panels. Then looping some soft ties around the upper ratchet strap and securing to the tie down points on the side of the trailer using standard ratchet straps (hook ends).
It just seems like a lot of top heavy weight on a pretty flimsy trailer, can't quite convince myself it's safe.
