Bolts needed for WDH?

We recently bought a new to us trailer and the previous owner included the WDH with it. Should I drill holes and throw in a couple of bolts just in case or leave it be? Our old system was mounted under the frame and required them. This one seems fine since it's strapped on top (it's been on the trailer for years from what I understand). Am I worrying too much? :)

Here's a pic for reference:



TIA,

  • I think that most are never bolted. If you want to do a super job, drill and bolt it to a tapped plate on the inside.
  • Your choice. My WD system uses the same saddle brackets and I found they'd slip a bit out of position so I did install a couple of small self tapping screws to prevent this.
