Covering my trailer

My cover arrived the other day and looks great. I am excited to be able to have a zippered door to enter the trailer. This looks to be much like the material used for my Scotty but there I had no way to enter once covered.

This ADCO cover is a horse trailer/cargo trailer cover. I think the cover is well worth the price of protecting my new trailer.

I have one more trip to go and once covered I'll a post a picture of the trailer tucked away for the Ohio winter months!

Ohio Winter months isn't that what Florida is for? ;)

you say in your picture post that you use a silver tarp to make or let the snow slide off
it worked for your scotty I wonder how it will work on a flat roof? :thinking:

Pete,
The Scotty had a flat roof with two MaxxAir vents. The cargo trailer has the two vents also and is rounded where the roof meets the walls. I had no trouble with the heavy duty tarp added for the roof with the Scotty, even with the full cover on. This way the snow doesn't just sit and accumulate between the two vented areas. It also made it easy for a big broom to just push the snow off on the heaviest accumulation days.

Great idea! I haven't covered mine for the past two winters. Just park it tilted, and brush the snow off from time to time. No problems so far . . . :thinking:

Like your blog Barb!

That cover looks awesome..I wonder how much more the snow would accumulate on a flat roof as opposed to a rounded..
