Used to use a van and simply bolted three lashing eyes (available from anu local hardware store, B+Q etc) into the back for straps.

One was down by the front wheel, then the other two were either side just below the handle bar level, these provided excellent positions for supporting the bike.

Note- the one by the front wheel is important because it stops the tyre sliding sideways and reducing the tension on the straps going to the bars.

I used too have a trailer well it was my dad`s but we converted it so the back slid out then we put a `U` channel for the front wheel too sit in and then put some hook type tie down points in each corner of the trailer and there you have it a multi-purpose trailer. The other option of course instead of using the `U` channel is you could cut out a slot for the wheel to sit into this would probably be a little more stable

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help people. I thought there would be a company that supplied floor supports for flat trailers. Ill have a look.
