    That stinks!! Serious question, it appears it was not much of a hit, yet the atv is off the trailer, how was it strapped down? I’ve often wondered what happens in an accident to stuff on trailers.

    Thanks, Jeff

    Jeff,
    I had the ATC strapped down with a 1″ wide ratchet strap…
    The trailer was smoked from behind… I was turning off the hwy and the car behind was going about 40 i would guess…I’ll add a few pix of the trailer…

    Thanks Dave, I hope you did not take my strap question as a criticism, purely curiosity. 40 MPH must have been quite an impact!! Hope all works out well.

    Nope… totally understood the question….

    I looked up that strap and it was rated for 4500…plus the back tires were up against the back supports of the trailer(towards the truck)

    I was shocked when I saw it off the trailer !!!

    Looks like the wheeler hit the tailgate on the truck? Lucky it was not worse. Hopefully you can salvage the Squeeler.

    Hey Dave…here is a possible replacement for the squeeler……
    A 500lb, 2- piece snowmobile that you can put in the back of your truck…
    For $2500 it don’t look too bad grin
