It is very reassuring to hear that the over-the-tire straps worked well for you. I’ve been slightly concerned about the front fascia clearance, so your tip about using 2x8 sections under the front tires is excellent, I will definitely prepare some blocks and secure them as you suggested to give the nose that extra bit of breathing room.
I'll also keep a close eye on the safety chain placement near the control arms and braces. It sounds like the 'check at every stop' rule is the way to go for peace of mind. I appreciate you sharing your experience; it has definitely made me feel more confident about using a U-Haul trailer for the move.
Preciate!
I'm glad that I could be of some help.
One more tip if you do use a U-Haul trailer. Check all of the lights before you leave their lot.
When I got home, I found that the three lights in the center weren't working on the trailer. It wasn't a big deal, I just spliced the wires and taped them up. No other problems with the trailer and it was a very reasonable price.
