this is how I secured the BGC
Well the Avalon air show has been & gone, I now have some good pics of how the BGC was lashed/secured to the tilt tray.
4 chains in each corner, going from the wheel to the tray tie down. used rubber tube to protect the wheels & paint from damage from the chains. Left the winch cable attached to a chain between the 2 front hull tie down/recovery points; with a slight load just to stop any hull movement and rock. That also kept law enforcement happy as it looked more secure.

I've always tied to the rear axle and front idlers with four chains and boomers. I don't take up all the slack in the suspension, but enough that it doesn't bounce. Chaining the bogies requires far too much chain on my one trailer (it is 21' long). I have a shorter trailer that needs a wheel bearing and some other work, it may work there if I get it fixed...one day.

first time I towed my carrier to a show I used 5 ton ratchet straps, one on each corner which was great until one of the straps rubbed through and the front of the carrier started to slew off the side of the trailer, luckily I spotted it and pulled over in time.
I now use chains ! rick
