Cover Your Trailer - Part 1

The subject of covering up your expensive horse trailer came up on the HTW board.  I decided to look into what is available. This week shows some inexpensive options to cover your trailer.  Next Saturday I will explore some more expensive options.

Triple-Layer Aqua-shed top panel with polypropylene side panels provide maximum protection for your Horse Trailer. Fully breathable fabric allows trapped moisture to evaporate from within. Highly U.V. resistant. Almost waterproof. Passenger-side zipper entry doors allow access during storage. Heavily reinforced rear corners resist tears and snags. Elasticized bottom hems at front and back provide a snug fit. Bunny-ear cinching system contains excess fabric. Strap and buckle secures cover firmly in place underneath trailer. Will work for all Thoroughbred/Standard bumper-pull trailers between 8 and 18 feet long. Cinching system accounts for whether the trailer has a round front or a “v” front. Exclude hitch when determining trailer length. Storage Bag included. (Gray only)

The way I see these things, if they are not easy to put on and off, I'm not going to bother.  In addition, if I have a door on my trailer to the DR or LQ, I want to be able to get to it easily.  The zipper entry door would be a must have.
