Just bought a 20 ft. inclosed trailer --Hallmark-- Can you tell me how to, and where to place the tie downs on a Unique suspension . I have 4 places on the floor to tie to but don't know where on the car to do so. I've never done this before so any advise would sure help. Thanks Pat

Pat- I make long hauls with my car in an enclosed 20' Wells Cargo. I have found that placing the straps around the front A-arm (closest to the frame) and around the rear lower control arms (closest to the third member/diff) works well. If the staps run straight fore and aft you might want to consider crossing them ( e.g.right side of car to left side of trailer)to better stabilize the car from side to side movement.

We strap ours the same way Phil discribed, I've never had a problem.
