I have a track system in my toyhauler. I would use at least 3 straps, otherwise it will bounce all over the inside. Some like the tire bonnets, they look good but I have never used them.

I would pull the rzr as close to the the front as you can - you want weight over the axels and sufficient tongue weight to avoid swaying.

 

Thanks exactly what I'm looking for

 

No matter what I would tie it down. E-track in the floor seems like a good way.

 

Pull both in to the enclosed trailer use emergency brake on both and strap down. Last thing I want to worry about in a accident is these machines flying around in the trailer.

If it stays in the trailer

 

I have two strips of E-track on the floor front to back that match the width of the tires. I just clip in tire bonnets and the rzr's won't budge. Quick and easy along with unlimited adjustment.

 

I couldn't imagine NOT strapping them down in any trailer. I can see just putting it in park breaking something in the tranny pretty easy. The last thing I want is my RZR bouncing back and fourth for ~100+ miles stressing the tranny/CV's with every bounce.

If you would strap it down on an open trailer, why wouldn't you in an enclosed? Seems silly to me even without the thought of an accident.

 

I've seen people not strap them in, and I'm just horrified by it.

I always strap mine down, no matter what they are in/on. Two straps in the back X'd, two in the front going straight.

 

Yup, EZ track 36" tracks under each front tire. Powertye 3" straps over the front tires and then to the EZ track, front and behind front tire.

Cross tie the rear to two heavy rings mounted in the floor.

Then a heavy ring in the floor up front and pull the front down an inch with the winch.

It don't move!!

I've got a 6x12 enclosed trailer. With my Pro Armor doors, I winch the RZR into the trailer.

Put on taller tires, I unhook the trailer from the truck, lower the hitch to the ground, leave the safety chains hooked to the truck.

This lowers the front and makes it possible to get a taller RZR through the rear door.

Just my experience!

I have a 16 foot 102 wide trailer. And I just got back my razor into it tight up against 1 wall with the parking brake on put it in park away I go.

I think a lot depends if you have a spring suspension or torsion axle.

The torsion axles seems to ride a lot smoother.

 

Not strapping down is CRAZY! Give it 5 min.

Not to be critical, but I hope you are never in an accident. That RZR will be a nightmare bouncing around in the trailer.

Why take a risk in destroying the inside of your trailer and a RZR, for spending less than 5 minutes to tie it down?

Not using tie downs is crazy and totally unsafe, at least in my opinion.

Did I miss something in your post? You said that you back your rzr tight up against a wall, put on the parking brake and away you go but then in the same paragraph, you siad it's crazy and totally unsafe not using tie downs.

Confused?




I have e-track in my trailer. I just received my new trailer a few months ago and took it to a stereo shop to get a rear view camera installed. While it was going there, I took my future son in laws rzr along so a friend could come pick it up to tig weld something for me.

Only a few miles down the road and less than 24 hours old, I got this.

Apparently when my friend moved it a couple of miles without tieing it down, the rzr slid forward. Not a big deal, easily repairable but what would have happened if he had locked up the brakes.

e-track full length of the trailer and on the front edge.

If you want to watch some really entertaining video, set up a gopro or other camera inside the trailer with the RZR inside snf go for a drive, It'll scare you to see how much these things move around even strapped down.

 

And we pay so much for that painted plastic and powdercoated tubing...just to have it torn up cuz we don't take time to tie down our precious machines...I don't get it!

Not securing a Rzr, atv or anything, inside a trailer or outside on a trailer is IRRESPONSIBLE!

 

E track is the way to go. Doesnt matter what you are hauling you will always have a good place to strap it down. I have a two strips on each wall of my trailer, one running along the bottom and one about half way up. I also have 4 flush D rings mounted on the floor as well.

 

I went with aero track which I was told has a anchor strength of 1200 lbs per tie down very strong and around the same price as e track

 

I use E-track

 

I strap my RZR down, but I always have that nagging in the back of my head when I have my four snowmobiles in there not strapped down. No real way to strap down the sleds, but they never move an inch. But the RZR or four wheelers are always tied down.

 

I have a 7x14 enclosed trailer with tiedowns in the corners. RZR gets 4 straps every time it goes on the trailer. In my state it would be a hell of a ticket if I got stopped and trooper looked in the trailer and saw an unsecured load. If you think an enclosed trailer will contain a 1100 pound projectile in an accident you're woefully mistaken. Anyone who doesn't tie their load down (whatever the load) is asking for trouble, as far as I'm concerned.

 

That ding looks similar to one I have in my toy hauler. ALWAYS strap down, 5min of strapping could say you $$$ in repairs to your trailer!

Jr,

Definitely got lucky... it only hit the door, it could have taken out the entire wall. I bought a replacement panel for 125 bucks, trimmed it down, installed it and all is good.

Ouch! Mine was just past the door where I installed more diamond plate sheeting to protect the walls from the ground up, about 2ft. I was able to cover up my ding. The diamond plate siding has saved me from a few other dings as well. I'm just lucky the Rzr didn't hop forward and push the front bumper through the sliding glass door that separates the garage from living area.


NorCal Jr.

 

LOL... now THAT could have been a mess. Never thought about sliding glass doors.

I am looking at a 7x14x7 is this enough room for a dirtbike inside also?

 

Tehcnically, yes, but it's tight. You also need to pay attention to the tiedown locations. If you're using e-track or something it would probably be OK, but with tiedowns in the corners you wind up having to use one really long tiedown to reach the front, which I don't like. I'm getting ready to sell my trailer and buy a larger one so I can fit my kids' bikes in with the RZR.

 

I have a winch front and back and drive the rzr into my toyhauler, hook the cables to the d-rings and winch her down. Before I did this I was using six ratchet straps. Two crossed on the front, two crossed on the rear and two crossed on the side. I have a small open trailer for short day trips and I just use the front winch. The trailer has a rear gate/ramp and when closed the rzr can't move forward or back. The winch holds it to the trailer in case of a large bump or dip in the road.

 

five minutes to tie it down better then repairing trailer/toy hualer damge and rzr damage

 

I can fit a 2 seat 900 and a bike on a 6.5x12 but it's tight and not by choice.

 

E track on the floors and tire bonnets rated at 3000 lbs each. That RZR isn't going anywhere. I'll bet I could flip that trailer upside down and it would hang there in place. Not that the trailer could handle that but it's that secure. Check my garage for a pic of the tire bonnet tied down in the trailer if you haven't seen it before.
