Car hauler

I normally tow my jeep behind the coach, but would like to haul my sports car on my 16ft trailer. I know there are a few ways to secure it, but would like some of your opinions on the best way to secure it on the trailer.

    That sounds pretty easy. I'm curious what size and/or weight rating straps you're using? I usually think of chains in terms of securing equipment to trailers but I guess large straps would do just as well as long as they are large enough.
