"Classic Accessories" makes 3 different sized teardrop covers 8ft, 8-10ft, & a 10-12ft. my tear is a 5x8 Benroy shaped and am using their 8-10ft version one. They have 2 different versions -both made in same 3 sizes with the cheaper one being made of a layered paper, and the more $$$ one being made of ripstop nylon. (for not much more $$ with a better warranty for the better one.) I used the cheaper one for the 3 years it was warrantied for - I have the better one now and it has been doing just fine and fits well - It looks to be very well made and is holding well way better than the first on. Is about $135 for the 8-10ft one on Amazon for the better made one and probably higher for the 10-12ft one. They both came with roof vents with a backend zippered panel along with a passenger sidedoor opening panel..... (and about $100 for the cheaper one.157249

We bought a cover for a Cadillac Escalade. It covers our 5x10 Benroy nicely

I will spend the entire winter outside and want it to be protected from outside impact. I already have a travel trailer winter cover, but it's more like a car cover. It's nice and multilayered, so it helps to protect the trailer from the sun, rain, and dust. It also allows the trailer to dry even when covered. But I need something more robust and reliable.


This cover should be custom-made, covering the entire trailer surface and protecting it from heavy snow and rust.


Any shop that does boat canvas could seam up a custom cover for a teardrop. Easy work compared to a boat cover of sail covers.

For instance, googling for "boat canvas Missouri" and this guy shows up as one of the top 2 results.

One thing you might want to have the canvas shop build in is a way to access the trailer without removing the entire cover. Maybe some foam stand-offs so there's some ventilation between the cover and the hull.

Or look at your local upholstery shop.
