They are not ratchet, they are Ancra's latest pull-downs. I know I can get that front suspension highly compressed cuz my boys at the local Harley shop here have already said they would help me. We can also do the same with the rear suspension/shock. They will leave here very tight, that I can assure you.
Maybe it won't even rain........last time I was down there I did not see a drop until I got to my son's house...............30 minutes after I unloaded the car, we had a true "frog-strangler"..............Chattanooga kind of sits in a bowl of mountains all around the city and those mountains squeeze a lot of water out of the clouds. Usually lasts about 30 minutes and then just dissipates.
If it rains on the way down I will just find a pull-off and check everything. That would be the smart move. Perhaps one day, someone with a very inventive brain will come up with a set of tie downs that will not stretch...........something made out of woven stainless steel....hook one end to the Canyon dancer and the other to the trailer. Steel does not stretch in Agua/water.
