Bungie tie-downs

We use ratcheting tie-down straps to ensure that the stuff in the trailer stays in the trailer. There are tie loops on each side of the trailer, perfect for hooking to. But whenever we hook the first tie-down to one of the loops, it falls off before we can walk around to hook the other side. It makes you feel like you’re stuck in a scene from “The Three Stooges.”

We recently stumbled across a product called Hook-Tight. It keeps straps and bungees in place while you secure them. You can find this product at some home centers, or you can buy them in packs of four online. They’re worth every penny.
