Am picking my new trailer up tomorrow and wonder what experience exist out there for securing cargo so it does not shif around in transit?
Anyone installed tie downs inside to use a cargo net?

I picked up a regular net at Wal Mart and bungeed it across the center of the trailer tying he bungee cords into the hinge mounts. That keeps the stuff from sliding back and forth. I use two plastic milk crates to hold my oil, air compressor, tools, spare gas can, spare tire in a can and other necessities of the road and pack them in around the luggage with lots of car cleaning towels and rags. You can never have enough stuff to clean or wipe off the dew in the mornings so those multiple towels serve two purposes.
When they get wet, I just hang them over top of the net and usually the heat from inside the trailer drys them out.

If you pack it full enough nothing can move! When I packed mine for our Alaska trip I had to take photos so I would know how to get everything back into it. Good thing is if you leave home with a full trailer you won't waste money buying junk while you're gone.

The BRP Cargo Net System Kit for the RT622 is pretty slick. It includes two rails that screw down on the bottom, left & right of the center line. These rails have places for connectors to attach to secure things to the floor of the trailer. It also comes with rings that attach to the lid hinge mounts (I think that's where they mounted) so you can use the supplied cargo nets, attaching it to those rings and to the rails below. It also come with a couple of cargo pouches that hang on the left and right sides just aft of the fenders to store stuff. I really like it.

I have had my 622 since 2010 new. Since I camp there is NO problem of shifting anything in the trailer. Just put the heavy stuff on the bottom and slightly heavier things on the left side( crown of the road and all that stuff) Everything else goes on top. BUT since I am a woman I do have a tendency to OVER PACK(understatement!!!)

Dang that is a purty red Spyder! I hope they bring that color back for 2016. Guess I'll get to find out on the 31st!
