I'd have never believed a trailer that is that light would actually tow well empty, but it does. |

Kevin, I'm not sure you have the tires adequately secured. Those nylon straps will stretch some as you bounce down the road dry, and they'll stretch a lot if they get wet. I'd try to add some kind of support at the ends to keep the wheels from flopping over if the strap goes a little slack.

I'm going to use a second strap on the top side to hold the tires together. I'll "gather" them with one, tie them down with another and I'll run a strap from the rear to the front to hold the cooler and help support the tires. I'll not tow with only one strap on it, it was just late and that's what I got for pictures. I think it will work better to tie them in a bundle an then tie them down.
