Looks like we may get a storm this weekend on Florida. I am wondering how you guys are anchoring your trailers to withstand wind damage from storms.
I've researched earth anchors and with Florida ground I don't think that's an option.
My concern is for tropical storm winds blowing over the trailer. Dry weight is about 2500 lbs. It's a tandem axle 7x14 vnose. GVWR of 7000 lbs.
The only solution I've been able to come up with is getting 2 IBC totes, each holding 275 gallons. At 8.5 lbs per gallon of water , that's about 2400 lbs each. I'm thinking of spacing them out evenly and then dropping all 4 stabilizers. That'll be a little over 7k lbs. I have 2 drop downs on the back and 2 EAZ lifts on the front.
I would love to find a way to tie it down, but I don't think filling 2 buckets full of concrete with an anchor point in it, with straps would do anything.
What are your thoughts or ideas?
