Helpful Expert Reply:
Since the floor of the trailer is 1/2 inch thick plywood I recommend mounting the Tow-Rax wheel chock # TWSPWC through the floor and attaching it directly to the frame of the trailer. Or, as an alternative, you could attach a steel backing plate on the other side of the plywood floor and attach the chock to that. This will disperse the weight better.
Once you have the chocks secured in one of the manners above and tie down the bikes it will be safe!
