Does anyone here use a teardop cover to cover their teardrop that is kept outside during the winter? Does it work okay?

I used a Camping Classic cover for years.

They work fine but aren't really waterproof.

We use a car cover for a Cadillac Escalade. It fits the oversized CrowsWing quite well.Image

I am also using this same brand of teardrop cover pictured here (8/10 ft length version) - the first one I bought was their low$$cost version, that one had a 3 year warranty on it - which is how long it did end-up lasting me - it was made with a paper-based product. The one I am using today is the more $$$ version with their 'lifetime' warranty (for-whatever-that means??) it is made of 'rip-stop' nylon and so far, after over 3/4years of use this time around = it is holding up "much" better = much better than the cheaper version did. And yes - they are NOT 'water-proof', but it still does seem to do a good job of keeping most of the moisture away from the trailer. What does seem to help when it is being used to cover the trailer is my having a roof rake on the trailer = it helps keep the nylon cover 'floating above' the trailer's top surface thus 'letting' it breath (I also use a Max-Air vent cover which also aids in holding the nylon cover above the trailer top surface, using this vent cover allows me also to have the roof-vent partially open for air-venting when stored/or parked). From the looks of this cover today - it should have a few more years of life left in it (and yes, have another 'new' one waiting in storage for it's replacement - after buying the one in use today on Amazon for about $125new a few years back, noticed they had one of the same size in their 'returned' section 'for sale for $26 = took a chance and bought it - and it ='ed... a 'good' $$ deal :thumbsup: )

Hey, thanks for the link Sharon! That one led me to this one that has four different sizes available...

I keep my TD under a roof but one of these would keep it nice and clean.
