Expert Reply:

There's not a set distance that the E-Tracks like part # E19148 should be apart when installing in a one bike trailer. That will depend on the trailer dimensions, the weight of the trailer and where the best mounting locations are in your trailer. Are you planning on installing them on the floor or the walls? I am assuming it's a motorcycle trailer. If you are using wheel chocks, I would recommend putting the E-Tracks a couple feet on either side if possible. You don't need an exact figure but close enough that the tie downs are pulling down, and far enough apart to provide side-to-side stability. This will depend on the width of your handle bars as well.
