Default need help strapping down 2 bikes

I've done 1 bike before in a smaller trailer but this is really tricky for me. Trying to avoid a scary situation on my 7hr road trip. Can anyone offer any input? Greatly appreciated!

as long as those two attachment points of each bike are forward of the front axle rake line. if they are not then you will need to use supplemental attachments aft. are those wheel chocks in the front of the trailer on both sides?

Pssshhh!! You need to man up!



If we could get three bikes in this van you can get two on that trailer.

either get some chocks or build something that attaches to the existing attachment points to give you a tie-down point in the center.
