Cargo Nets

[B2C2]

Those seat rail tiedowns look very handy. thanks for pointing those out as well. The cargo is really just baggage, probably in soft duffels. Not particularly heavy, just bulky. And I would put the lighter stuff on top. It is just that I would like to be able to pile it up to the ceiling for packing space efficiency and not have it fall down on the dogs if the ride gets bumpy.

I've had success with stacking compressible baggage high and cranking it down hard using a net. It stays put in turbulence. The trick is to secure the rear of the net to the floor, stack the bags up, and then drape the net forward and crank down the front with rachet straps or something similar. This method obviously requires baggage that can really take a compressive force.

Don't forget to strap the dog crates down as well.

Good luck.

I had been thinking about doing exactly what you describe. Im glad to know it works. So for now I think Ill try the cargo net and seat rail tie downs and see how that works. thanks for your help.
