Towing with cover on.

[GMLIII]

How heavy will each side weigh in lbs once you get the screen installed? Will the finished product fit in the back of an SUV when not in use?

...or you could save the effort and do something like this.

Or you could do this.
A Bra under the cover and mesh trampoline in the trailer A frame. The Bra takes a minute to throw on under the cover and the trampoline is permanent...

[Gbracer]

I looked at the trampoline option but rocks can still come from the upper side of the trailer
I also have a skirt for my truck like the Camping world one but need something for when boat is behind the motorhome, not worried about putting in back of a SUV they will stay on trailer when not in use , finally have something nice and want to keep it that way......

Where did you purchase the bra and trampoline or were they custom made?

[philb]

I got a motor trimmer make both. As I said earlier the trampoline is permanently fixed to the trailer and you can take the bra from boat to boat.
let me know if you would like some close up photos of the fabrications ......

Yes if not too much trouble to post some pictures that would be great. I think you might find folks on this forum interested in the bra and trampoline. May be an Australia thing but what is a "motor trimmer"? I have never heard that term used.

"Motor or Marine Trimmer" ....... someone that does car and marine upholstery, canopy's, Bimini's, frames and covers.
I'm away from the boat til weekend after next.......I'll get some photos then.

Camping World sells them for RVs, as well. I had one on my Revolution and it worked great.

I finally finished the covers for the front of the boat trailer hoping this will do the trick while towing.

Interesting. Looks to be a pretty tight tolerance between the support pole and side of boat. Any concern that at highway speed you'll get enough force on those to push or bang them against boat?

The 3-4 times I’ve tried towing with cover on damages each time.

chaffe to gel, zipper scraped to tower to the metal flapping around. Damaged and stretched the cover.

maybe 45mph? Never ever 70-75mph ever again.
