• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Tying Spyder down in Toy Hauler? Tie down location wrong...

I have a situation in ny Toy hauler with the tie downs not being in the correct place to be able to tie the front wheels correctly. The other problem is installation of more tie downs is not feasible.Has anyone been faced with this and what suggestions could you give me. Thanks
 
They make many different types of paint that contain crystals or sand for better traction. Also they make an appliqué that would work. I’m sure if you look online you’ll be able to find what you want. Good luck.
 
I guess I would have to ask why it's not feasible to install more tie downs? They make some nice wheel chocks out there, and make some threaded nut inserts that you can screw into wood , then thread a bolt threw them, when not used they are flush with the floor!!:dontknow: Maybe pictures of your rig would help us help you!!
 
If you have wide set tie downs in the floor you might have to make a adapter pipe of rectangular tube that spans the existing tie downs and provides other strap attachment points.
 
Try tying down the rear wheel. Run the strap over the center of the tire. One tie down in front of the tire and one just to the rear of the tire. Hopefully there will be no holding tanks in the way of the two D rings. If you have a 2020 or newer, you will have to cut off approx 6" of mud flap to be able to ratchet it down.
 
Not for a Spyder, but a Harley in a previous toy hauler. I mounted a Condor wheel chock to a 2X2 heavy aluminum angle about 3 feet long. Cut slots in the base of the angle to slip over the rings on the existing tie downs. Put carabiners through the part of the ring that stood above the slots in the angle to keep the whole thing from moving. Drilled the upright piece of the aluminum for eye bolts to hold the tie down hooks from the bike. My current setup in a 7X14 enclosed trailer uses 2 Condor chocks for the front wheels simply drilled and bolted to the floor.
