trailer cover recommendation

Getting ready to close up our trailer for the season. Any recommendations on covers. We live in CT and the trailer will be stored outside in the driveway for the winter.

I am in MA and have had very good luck using Amazon to purchase a Classic Accessories cover for my 17' Teardrop. It has lasted through four years and I'm hopeful of using it for at least one more year. if your trailer is going to be stored on a hard surface driveway (asphalt or concrete), a cover will protect your trailer from the elements without the likelihood of a condensation problem. If, however, your driveway is on grass or some permeable surface that allows ground moisture to be released, it's possible for the cover to trap the moisture that can create condensation/rust problems.

Whichever one you pick, make sure it is on tight so the wind will not damage it or the rig.

Thanks for your response, looks like we just missed each other in Holly Lock. I was an MM1(SS) assigned to USS Henry Clay SSBN-625 and made 7 patrols out of Holly Lock between 75 - 80.

RV cover

RV covers go on sale this time of year. DH and I use bubble wrap and blue painters tape to any thing that will rub and rip the cover. Awning arms and television antenna. Additional rope is used width and length of cover. I purchased ratchet straps to be used in addition to the straps sewed on the cover. Bubble wrap is used where the roof meets the body of the trailer. Some have used pool noodles. Never any damage when we uncover in the spring. This works in our cold and snowy NYS. Got the ratchet straps at SAMS club. Probably sold at Harbor Freight.
