    I spent half of today not to far from MJ's home 20. Forest Lake and then at Blain Bros getting my trailer looked at. Long gone now, but at first they told me they couldn't get it on the alignment rack till 5:00 tonight. I thought well crap. At least I know there's a refrigerator full of cold ones nearby.

    Anybody have a good YouTube video or pictures on how you tarp the ends? Say one piece 4'Hx10'Lx8'W, and all you have is a 16'x24' steel tarp, no end flaps.

    I don't know how to fold in the extra on the ends and make it pretty.

    Everyone says that... Aleutian Islands wake up to freezing clear day. two hours later it was snowing. Two hours after that it was raining. 3 hours later the fog rolled in and then another 3 hours and it was sunny and warm. All of this in less than 12 hours.

    Yes. FOR every 10ft. Not AT every 10 ft. @cnsper is dead on. Put your securement at the dunnage. You still want to put enough to cover "1 for every 10 ft and fraction thereof, because the sheer size of an object will snap your securement if you do not have enough, but you put it at the dunnage, not every 10 ft.

    Rookies: you have a 73 ft beam. How many tie downs do you need to be legal?
