I need to haul my old diesel Mercedes on a UHaul trailer this weekend. Now I know how not to do it.

Oh no, he has is all wrong. You definitely roll those windows down and run the straps through the car. Can't risk the straps blowing off. :laughing:

But just roll the windows down an inch or so and tighten the straps real good. :D

I once had to go get someone's vehicle that had broken down and wasn't really road-worthy before it broke. Once it was on the trailer, I started to try and strap it down; issue was, the entire undercarriage was rotted out with rust. I ended up strapping it down somewhat similarly to that.

It can't be a joke, and it can't be real. What the..........

I've seen that one before and one can only hope that the boys were playing a joke on the rookie.

The straps on the car on top of the UHaul car hauler are completely unnecessary. The UHaul car hauler integral straps at the front and rear keep the car totally secured. I've used the very same UHaul car hauler trailer many times.

Remember Clamp on Bumper Tow Bars?

View attachment 511526

Have never seen anything like it every again, but when I was little in the mid 70's dad had a tow bar with clamps at each end with double swivels and a pivot in it where one car could tow another car and all it did was clamp onto the cars bumpers think the thing was just under 2 1/2 to 3 feet long. Only saw him use it once but it worked.
