Soft cover

[bighornram]

I'm looking to cover my trailer. Can anyone recommend a brand. I am looking at this company: http://www.classicaccessories.com/category.aspx?id=12 as they much less expensive than the ADCO covers. I'm wondering how they would compare. I know a cover won't last forever but I live at high altitude in the southwest so UV cooks a trailer in a year or two.

I wouldn't recommend covering the trailer. The covers, though there may be some solar protection, have been known to trap mildew under them and rub various places on the trailer caused by winds. I saw a Hitchhiker not too long ago that had been covered every winter for four years and it had some hideous looking spots in the fiberglass due to the cover.

I can appreciate that although the alternative is worse. I just got rid of a Wildcat and the decals were badly faded, peeling off, EVERYTHING plastic would break if you looked at it. I looked into a carport cover and they are about $5000. A cover will have to do for now.

After looking at many alternatives, I am looking very carefully at Calmark Covers. They use Sunbrella fabric for their units and feedback on them is very good. In So. Calif. the sun is pretty strong and I think a cover will be beneficial. The guy who washes and waxes units for a living (Jerry Tucker, located at the Valencia CW) tells me that the difference between covering and not covering in So. Calif. is dramatic in favor of covering. Calmark covers are expensive, but if it helps protect a $60,000 investment, I'll do it.

Those look very nice! I've contacted them for a fabric sample.
Thank you

This is who I used, very soft, breathes and unlike the tyvek has not rubbed or caused any damage.
