I used to use a bungee, to put one hook in one side of the hole where the strap attaches to the hook (hook was under trailer edge) and wrap it around the rub rail, and then put the other hook when sufficiently tight, into the other side of the hole where the strap attaches thereby putting tension to hold it. I did that for each hook, and when done, if I needed to tarp, would just take the bungee off to use on the tarp. That's how I did it so the strap would go between the rub rail and under the trailer edge so it would hold it while I tightened the straps. What I did was pretty much what this looks like, but without the added cost. I had plenty of bungees, so no extra cost.
Has anyone used The One Hook Wonder?

I thought straps were not supposed to be hooked to the rub rail?

God prefers Diesel's pic is, I believe, a sarcastic pic. At least I hope so.
If you're referring to the OP's pic, you're right.Last edited: Nov 2, 2022

i get tie bars underneath/ Steel trailers it’s a piece of flat stock, aluminum trailers it’s generally a piece of rubrail, bolts/welds on the crossmembers.
Them Manacs kick the tie bar inside the edge of the deck like a foot; which I thought was dumb when I got the first one/ and it still is for a couple reasons: but, you can run the hook up n over n back around if it so pleases. Can’t get that mother####er to fall off without handling it.God prefers Diesels, D.Tibbitt, CAXPT and 1 other person Thank this. -
