When I sold my VW Campmobile last winter, the guy who picked it up got
it as a backhaul.  His normal load was Ambulances being hauled from
the factory in Indiana to the port at Savannah or Charleston.  He tied
it down by the wheels...but it looked scary to me.

All other things being equal, I'd tie the wheels down tight, then
cross-strap the frame snug.  But I'm an Over-Engineer by training.
