I question how many know the construction of the tie down points in their TCs. I question how many know how their tie downs themselves are constructed. I question how many know if their tie downs have springs or rubber cushions. I question how many know if the spring tie downs go in the front of the TC or rear.
If you are off road on rough roads/trails and have your rear tie downs connected, you may want to do a bit of research on this subject before you post.
It is my opinion that most people are of the "monkey see monkey do" belief and bling-bling on the subject of tie downs. Too much sales info, without really researching the subject.
There are many factors to consider on tie down methods. I can't think of any tie downs that will not do the job well. Many are bling-bling, many are gotta have a gimmick, many are to make them more easy to connect and disconnect.
My point is, your tie downs may satisfy your needs based on your knowledge and beliefs, but consider that there may be other alternatives that work just as well. I think it was Wil Rodgers that once said, " Do not judge the abilities of others by your own."
This is not directed at any one person, but I will add that in my opinion the dumbest statement someone can make is "you get what you pay for". Does this mean the quality goes up if the price is raised?
