Re: [NSVC] Van or trailer?

Erik:  Glad the load/unload process worked well for you. And it
sounds like you had a fabulous time at Barbur. Wife and I started our
SE tour from Birmingham last June but the timing precluded a visit to
their museum. Talk about being BUMMED!
I had the same concern about the ramp moving around. Beveling, I
think, will help your board and maybe something grippy like rubber
where it meets the ground. My ramp was a beveled, extending plastic
jobbie. Was still unsure about it so I attached ratcheted tie-downs
to each side and hooked the other ends to the van's bumper.
