Re: Trailering a Car
My HD car hauler only has a half dovetail so there are clearance problems with low vehicles or long wheelbase vehicles. If there is no convenient bit of hill to back up to I have been known to chock the wheels, disconnect the hitch and run the tongue up quite a bit with the tongue jack which lowers the rear of the trailer.
Do pay attention to the guys commenting on having your tie-downs secure and properly placed. For safety you need to snub the load both fore and aft as well as side to side. Improperly attached tie-downs no matter how tight are just a false sense of security.
For nautical readers... Consider the spring lines vs the bow and stern lines.
