I decided to play it safe and rented a small trailer from uhaul. In hindsight I would've gotten a covered one. Despite having a tarp and moving blankets I found some scuffs to the bottom window trim, which maybe was there already but I am unsure. I was more focused on keeping the load dry which was a success. Cannot wait to adios the PNW weather.
I included a diagram the seller was nice enough to draw up for me. You can really find some great people living out in the vast expanses up here. Maybe this will help someone!
