Default Golf Cart on Trailer Security

I will be traveling with my cart in tow. We will spend 1 night in a hotel. Should I chain down the cart to the trailer? and if so ideal spot to chain it to?

Whenever I used to do overnight travel, I would run 2 chains. 1 around the front axle and 1 around the rear axle.

Might I suggest locks as well. Chains don't do much for security if anybody can just unhook them.

I would just use one chain.
One end hooked to the axle, the other end hooked to a rottweiler

Might I suggest removing the windshield & roof also.

When I travel I only take two rotties with me. The other two will guard home.

I'm not sure about your cart but on both of mine if you look under the front you can put the chain around a part of the frame. I don't like chaining to something that can be unbolted. Also back the trailer up against a tree / wall /pole so they can't roll it off the trailer. I use a locking hitch pin and a lock on the hitch latch. You can also use a locking boot on the trailer and cart. They sell them on ebay for $20 to $40.

rotties are nothing but a bunch of pansies

Use the chains or some cable around the axles you will be good to go.

I dont lock the cart to the trailer....... I just lock the rear gate with a full cage around it there is no way it is coming off without some boltcutters... Backing up to a lightpole of a tree or tying to a ROT or Heeler is a great idea too.....
