Default Securing KL on a trailer

I need to trailer an '18 TH. If anyone has any tips I'm all ears.

I'll be using chains and binders. I only ask because I'm unsure about routing the chains through the LCAs.

Well, here's what I came up with. The rear is pretty easy to bridge the A-arms. Just be sure your chain doesn't catch the diff fill plug once snugged.

The front is a different matter. A chain would want to crush the exhaust in an upward direction (3.2). I wound up using 2" straps placed just inboard of the lower BJs. I was worried the straps might walk out to the BJs and damage the boots, but they didn't. I ran the straps to D-rings on my front bump rail.

I'm not thrilled about the front setup because it doesn't serve to pull the wheels DOWN to the deck, but it worked really well for ~150 miles at ~65mph on state highways.

I did order some wheel straps so in the future I can hopefully do better on the front.
