Make sure you have an easy to install and remove TUB BRACE for your washer.
When you're traveling you don't want the drum shifting around banging the sides and possibly damaging the machine from the vehicles bumping down the road.

pics requests
Here are the pics you requested. I noticed the plastic top liner in the tub appears to be very loose, you can hear it when the machine spins. Does it just snap together? I'd also like to find a tub brace, like some styrofoam to place on top of the agitator so the machine will move less when we are under way. I'm guessing I have to get a block of stryofoam and cut it to fit?
Also when the machine was being moved the timer got messed up, somehow the knob got caught on something and was pulled out very far (a long "pole") was sticking out, we just pushed it back in, but when you turn the dial to select the cycle sometimes you have to grab the bottom part of the knob where the cycle is listed to get it to turn properly, and push/pulling the timer doesn't sound as good as it used to. Is there a timer shop that can rebuild the timer?
Thanks!

That plastic tub cover snaps in place, WP had trouble with the plastic tabs breaking that hold it in place, when you raise the top of the washer if the plastic tabs are broken I may still have the kit to fix this problem.
It should not be necessary to secure the tub in this washer when you are on the road, If you want to put a piece of soft foam between the top of the tub cover and the underside of the top it might not hurt, just stay away from the lid switch etc as they are easy to break, This washer only needed its tub braced when it was being shipped on its side, back etc.
I would try to find a new timer, once these get messed up it can be hard to fix them. We used to see a lot of these get broken because of the way they stick out from the machine.
