I am looking to find a cover to prortect the tear from the elements while were not using it. A vinyl tarp works but scratches the body. Any suggestions ???? :roll:

silly me its a 5x10 tear

I was given a roll of Tyvek, and after looking at store bought covers I am going to make my own. Just remember, you do not want to trap moisture against the surface, as it might create mold and mildew.

small pieces of pvc can be used to keep the tarp off of your trailer.

I've been thinking about a cover too. I was wondering how "pool noodles" (foam tubes used as toys in swimming pools) would work to keep the cover from laying on the top, would work. Or what about foam pipe insulation? I have thought about buying a car cover and tailoring it to fit for a cover.

If you want to go fancy, a company called ADCO will make a custom cover in your choice of fabric:

Sunbrella (5 year warranty) $39.99 per foot
Tyvek (4 year warranty) $32.99 per foot
SFS Aqua Shed ( 3 year warranty) $21.99 per foot

The covers are listed in most RV Supply catalogs

Forgive my stupidity but I thought Tyvek was that vapor barrier house wrap stuff. I had a car cover that was for a 86 Camaro that fit soemwhat decent, but it did flap and scuff the fenders a little. I've always thought about calling Califirnia Car cover Company(think that's the name) and inquiring about a custom cover, but never have.

You could build in some vents close to the top along the sides for ventilation. I have a cover for my riding mower and it have vents on each side to allow air circulation. They just screened area that is covered and left open on the bottom.
