I need to mount this (not identical but similar) to a trailer. Just take off the wheels and sit on rubber mounts and mount as any other skid?
Or would you leave wheels on and use tie-downs?
I’m usually all for removing the wheels, but on this type of unit it looks like the wheels take up very little room. You’d save maybe 3 inches on either side and another 2”-3” in height. So I’d probably just make permanent wheel chocks out of blocks of wood screwed down to the bed, and tie-down straps to hold it.
This going behind the Prius?

Take off tires and bolt down. It will never be secure with pneumatic tires.
Gotcha. My actual model has solid rubber tires but I think I’m more inclined to bolt it down for safety reasons.
Should mention too that my heater is on its own frame.
Aww, sorry to hear that 
. But looks like you’ve settled on a practical, all purpose vehicle. Hope it serves your business and family well 
Looks like the bottom of that heater about even with bottom of frame. May need to mount the frame on some blocks.
Btw, thanks for the tip somewhere here to run around 150 degrees. I was running up around 190-200 last year.
Some more pics of my actual unit. Need to secure the unloader. You’d think they would’ve built it that way…
190 - 200 you can watch your fuel gauge move while running. I get up to about 165-175 on a bad dumpster pad and maybe right at a service door, everything else never seen any difference. If you think about it, your hw heater at home probably set at 125-130 and it’ll rinse the heck out of some dirt or grease at real low pressure.
