Lashing down does not take too long and protective padding can be placed under straps to prevent chafe on varnish or paint. The load should really stay attatched to the trailer even if hit broadside by another vehilce or rolled. If you have ever seen a boat laying across 2 lanes of highway at night, unlit, you will curse the man who does not secure his load properly.
