Trailer tie downs
Hello,
I have been organizing my trailer stuff so I can secure it for transport. I would like to get some recommendations about how best to tie down stuff other than the car. Vertical E-Track on the walls? Hooks on the walls to tie down stuff?
How wide is Vertical E-Track? Can it be mounted to the vertical strut? I am not sure mine is wide enough?
Any recommendations would be useful!

Kary,
I don't have any experience with e-tracks. My trailer is aluminum, so anything heavy needs to have a bolt-through mount. That included my cabinets, tire rack, fluids rack, and compressor mount. Lighter things I can hold down using bungies across the studs. It really depends on what you want to tie down and what kind of trailer you're working with.
If yours has steel or wood studs, it may be easier to mount things. For anything heavy, like a tire rack or cabinets, I use a pro to do the mounting for me.
